17. FOCUS ON: adverbs and phrasal verbs

Adverbs are words that modify verbs. Many adverbs end with -ly, for example, quickly, slowly, suddenly, foolishly; but other adverbs, such as always, sometimes, and never, do not. The placement of adverbs in sentences with phrasal verbs depends on whether the verb is intransitive or transitive, and if transitive, whether it is separable or nonseparable. In general, adverbs are placed like ordi­nary one-word verbs with the exception of nonseparable phrasal verbs, which also allow for the placement of adverbs between the verb and the particle. All possible placements of adverbs in sentences containing the various types of phrasal verbs are shown with Xs:
