33. FOCUS ON: phrasal verbs and midsentence adverbs

As we saw in Section 17, adverbs are words that modify verbs. Some adverbs are called midsentence adverbs because they are commonly placed in the middle of a sentence. Midsentence adverbs are usually placed before main verbs:

He Xgoofs around.She Xhelped himout.

after any form of be:

He is Xgoofing around.She wasn't X helping himout.

and between an auxiliary (helping) verb and the main verb:

He will X goof around.

She can't X help himout.

In questions, a midsentence adverb is usually placed between the subject and the main verb:

Does he X goof around?

Is he X goof ing around?

Has she Xhelped himout?

The following are common midsentence adverbs. Adverbs of frequency
