Primarygun Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 Where is an adverb put in a sentence? For example, I absolutely know it. Before the verb. I played with my dog happily. put at the back of a sentence
Glider Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 Not that it really matters these days, but 'I know' is an infinitive and makes sense. 'I absolutely' doesn't make sense and 'I absolutely know' is a split infinitive. The correct form would be 'I know it absolutely'. As for playing with the dog, I imagine that 'I played happily with my dog' would be as correct as 'I played with my dog happily'. I may be wrong
