Sentence adverbials (in the form of adverbs, adverb phrases and prepositional phrases) mostly occur at the end of a clause. However, they can also occur adjacent to the finite verb, as illustrated below. Some adverbs, often called sentence adverbs, even have this as their main position. In main clause, this position is right after the finite verb, in subordinate clauses right before it.
