What Are Adverbs of Place?


The adverbs of place serve to name the area or space in which the actions or events occur. They are generally used to answer the “Where” question. Although the list of adverbs of place is somewhat extensive, it is essential that you know some:
1.Here/ There : They are used a lot and serve to indicate the position of something concerning the speaker. For example:
My book is here. / Put it there. Ponlo allí.
2. Ending in –where These adverbs are used to talk about the position of something without precisely specifying what that position is. The most common are: somewhere, anywhere, everywhere, and nowhere. For example:
Is there anywhere to park? / She had nowhere to go.
3. Ending in –ward : These adverbs are used to express movement towards a specific direction: For example:
He took a step backward. / We climbed upward for over two hours.
