positions of adverbs

Hello fifth semester students here you are the exercises I need you to do for next class.

 Adverb of Manner

(e.g.: slowly, carefully, awfully)
These adverbs are put behind the direct object (or behind the verb if there's no direct object).
subject
verb(s)
direct object
adverb
He
drove
the car
carefully.
He
drove

carefully.
Adverbs of Manner
Rewrite the sentences and put the adverbs in correctly.
1.    She speaks. (slowly) → 
2.    They sang. (wonderfully) → 
3.    He treated her. (respectfully) → 
4.    John speaks English. (well) → 
5.    The dog barks. (loudly) → 
6.    My sister plays the piano. (awfully) → 
7.    She met him. (secretly) → 
8.    The children laughed. (happily) → 
9.    She hurt her leg. (badly) → 
10. They sneaked out of the house (quietly).  
11.             Adverbs of Time
12. (e.g.: recently, now, then, yesterday)
13. Adverbs of time are usually put at the end of the sentence.
subject
verb(s)
indirect object
direct object
time
I
will tell
you
the story
tomorrow.
14. If you don't want to put emphasis on the time, you can also put the adverb of time at the beginning of the sentence.
time
subject
verb(s)
indirect object
direct object
Tomorrow
I
will tell
you
the story.
Adverbs of Time
Arrange the words to make sentences. Place time expressions at the end of the sentence.
1.    haven't / recently / seen / I / him - 
2.    I'll / you / see / soon - 
3.    afterwards / met / at the pub / him / we - 
4.    help / immediately / I / need -

6.    ? / now / are / where / you - 
7.    ? / to go / where / you / do / want / today - 
8.    ? / do / yesterday / did / you / what - 
9.    as soon as possible / you / him / the truth / tell / should - 
10. hasn't won / lately / my team - 
11.             Adverbs of Place
12. (e.g.: here, there, behind, above)
13. Like adverbs of manner, these adverbs are put behind the direct object or the verb.
subject
verb(s)
direct object
adverb
I
didn't see
him
here.
He
stayed

behind.
Adverbs of Place
Make sentences and put the adverbs (in italic print) in correctly (behind the verb or object).
1.    is / over there / the cinema - 
2.    inside / go / let's - 
3.    the kitchen / downstairs / is - 
4.    playing / the kids / are / outside - 
5.    she / not / been / here / has - 
6.    the bathroom / is / upstairs - 
7.    were / everywhere / we / for / looking / you - 
8.    we / anywhere / you / find / couldn't - 
9.    ? / there / a post office / nearby / is - 
10. must / we / walk / back home - 
11.             Adverbs of Frequency
12. (e.g.: always, never, seldom, usually)
13. Adverbs of frequency are put directly before the main verb. If 'be' is the main verb and there is no auxiliary verb, adverbs of frequency are put behind 'be'. Is there an auxiliary verb, however, adverbs of frequency are put before 'be'.
subject

adverb

object, place or time

  4. hi teacher
    i agree with kennia, i think this period its not so difficult, but i usually get confused in the position of adverbs.
    In the other hand, the past in future its really easy, we just need to know the difference betweem would and was/were going to.
    And i will give you the homework on friday.
