Adverbs that Modify Verbs

Most adverbs modify verbs. The location varies: an adverb that modifies a verb may be before or after its
modifying verb; it may be in the middle of a verb phrase; or it may be at the beginning of the sentence, nowhere
near the verb it modifies.
Examples:
1. Keith diligently searched for the lost sheep.
2. Keith searched for the lost sheep diligently.
3. Keith has been diligently searching for the lost sheep.
4. Diligently, Keith searched for the lost sheep.
