Adverbs and Prepositions
Adverbs are
words or groups of words which tell time,
place, frequency or manner.

phrases. They
can also be used to indicate time, place, frequency, duration, reason, manner,
or to show contrast.
|

I ate in the cafeteria. |
She went to the store.
She walked into the house. |
*Do not use adverbs as objects of prepositions.
