English Grammar

I find grammar fascinating because I enjoy knowing very specific rules. For instance,

Adverbs (http://www.edufind.com)
Adverbs of degree tell us about the intensity or degree of an action, an adjective or another adverb.
Common adverbs of degree:
Almost, nearly, quite, just, too, enough, hardly, scarcely, completely, very, extremely.
Adverbs of degree are usually placed:

• before the adjective or adverb they are modifying: e.g. The water was extremely cold.
• before the main verb: e.g. He was just leaving. She has almost finished.

Examples:

• She doesn't quite know what she'll do after university.
• They are completely exhausted from the trip.
• I am too tired to go out tonight.
• He hardly noticed what she was saying.

Adverbs of place tell us where something happens.
They are usually placed after the main verb or after the object:
Example:
after the main verb:

• I looked everywhere
• John looked away, up, down, around...
• I'm going home, out, back
• Come in

after the object:

• They built a house nearby
• She took the child outside
