Adverbs



Tips and notes (from duolingo.com) 

Adverbs

Adverbs are small words modifying verbs, adjectives or other adverbs! English adverbs often end in -ly (such as happily), but many simply have no particular ending (such asvery).
In Swedish, the common adverbial ending, like English -ly, is -t. These adverbs are identical to ett-word adjectives.
vacker → vackert beautifully
glad → glatt happily
snäll → snällt kindly
Some adjectives ending in -ig take an adverbial ending in -en or -tvis.
verklig → verkligen really
naturlig → naturligtvis naturally
And, of course, many adverbs simply have no particular ending: e.g. oftakanskealltid.

Placement of adverbs

Unlike English, adverbs are always placed after the verb in sentences that start with the subject. This is because of the V2 rule – the verb must always come second.
Jag springer oftaI often run.
Du äter hemmaYou eat at home.
Like English, adverbs are placed before adjectives and other adverbs.
Huset är mycket blått. The house is very blue.
Jag är lyckligt gift. I am happily married.
Han är aldrig hemma. He is never at home.
