Adverbs of place, also known as adverbs of location, tell us where something happens or where something is. They answer the question "where?"
Common examples of adverbs of place:
* Here: I like it here.
* There: Put it there.
* Everywhere: I've looked everywhere for my keys.
* Nowhere: There's nowhere to park.
* Inside: It's warm inside.
* Outside: Let's play outside.
* Upstairs: My bedroom is upstairs.
* Downstairs: The bathroom is downstairs.
* Nearby: There's a park nearby.
* Far: It's too far to walk.
* Abroad: I'd love to travel abroad.
* Home: I'm going home.
Adverbs of place can also indicate direction or movement:
* Up: The cat climbed up the tree.
* Down: The leaves fell down.
* Around: The children ran around the garden.
* Away: He went away.
* Back: I'll be back soon.
* Forward: She stepped forward.
Placement of adverbs of place:
* Adverbs of place usually come after the main verb or after the object of the verb.
* Example: She sat here.
* Example: I put the book on the table.
* Some adverbs of place can also come at the beginning of a sentence for emphasis.
* Example: Here is where we met.
Adverbs of place vs. prepositions:
* Many words can function as both adverbs of place and prepositions.
* Adverb: The cat is inside.
* Preposition: The cat is inside the box.
* The difference is that a preposition is always followed by a noun or pronoun, while an adverb is not.
