expected to demonstrate understanding of familiar words so that you can
communicate your personal experiences, ideas, thoughts, feelings, and
actions to others.

The following are the learning competencies that you have to develop

Let’s Study and Analyze

Adverbs are parts of speech. These are words or phrases that tell
something about verbs, adjectives and other adverbs. There are different
types of adverbs.

An adverb of place answers the question WHERE. It tells the place

where the action happens.

Here are examples of adverbs of place:

here there outside inside behind up in

down above below there in front under
on into in far near

Let’s check some rules in using adverbs of place in sentences.

Adverbs are normally placed after the main verb.

Example: They played at the back of the house.

Adverbs of place can refer to distances, position in relation to other

objects or direction of the movement of things. Words such as “-ward or -
wards” are sometimes used in the adverb to describe the direction of the
movement.
Example: The book is on the table. (position)
Their teacher’s house is nearby. (distance)
The wind moved westward. (direction)

 Adverbs of place describe the direction of the action.
Example: The cat went up the tree.
