 never have to wait long for a bus.

Sometimes the position can affect the meaning. Compare these sentences.



They deliberately didn't leave the heating on. (They left it off on purpose.)

They didn't deliberately leave the heating on. (They left it on by mistake.)

5 End position

a I hadn't had a drink for days.

The police were driving very slowly.

They're doing this on purpose.

Most types of adverbial can come here, especially prepositional phrases.

b If there is an object, then the adverbial usually goes after it.

I wrapped the parcel carefully, NOT I wrapped carefully the parcel.

We'll finish the job next week, NOT We'll finish next week the job.

But a short adverbial can go before a long object.



I wrapped carefully all the glasses and ornaments.

Here the adverb of manner can also go in mid position.



I carefully wrapped all the glasses and ornaments.

c We often put an adverbial in end position when it is new and important

information.

There was a police car in front of us. It was going very slowly.

NOTE


When there are two clauses, the position of the adverb can affect the meaning.

They agreed immediately that the goods would be replaced. (an immediate agreement)

They agreed that the goods would be replaced immediately. (an immediate replacement)

6 Order in end position

a Sometimes there is more than one adverbial in end position. Usually a shorter

adverbial goes before a longer one.



Sam waited impatiently outside the post office.
