Często popełniane błędy
Position not in the negative infinitive immediately before the word to and not after it.
When using an adverb of time and an adverb of place together in a sentence, the adverb of place must come first.
Position not in a compound verb after the first auxiliary.
With the present or perfect participle, place not at the beginning: Not having set the alarm, he was late for work. Not being rich, he couldn't afford it.
With a transitive verb, the adverb generally comes after the object.
If, however, the object is long, the adverb may come after the transitive verb: She wrote carefully all the essays she had to do.
Adverbs or adverbial phrases of definite time, like yesterday, today, tomorrow, last week, two months ago, are usually placed at the end of the sentence. If we want to emphasise the time, we put the adverb at the beginning: Yesterday I was very busy.
If there is more than one adverb of definite time in a sentence, put the more exact expression before the more general: He was bom at two o'clock in the morning on April 12th 1942.
