Há três lugares na frase onde se pode colocar um advérbio. No início, no meio ou no final da frase.
no início no meio no final

Then the ship slowly sailed away.

Outside it was obviously raining hard.
No meio da Frase.
A colocação no meio significa que o advérbio tem que estar junto ao verbo. Aqui estão alguns exemplos de advérbios nesse caso.

auxiliar advérbio auxiliar verbo principal

The visitors are just leaving

Andrew has always liked Jessica
We don’t often go out in the evening
You should never take unnecessary risks.
The pictures have definitely been stolen.
I really hate housework.
You probably left the bag on the bus.

O advérbio vem depois do primeiro auxiliar, por exemplo: are, has, don’t.
Se não houver auxiliar, então, o advérbio vem antes do verbo principal, por exemplo: hate, left.

Toma atenção à ordem das palavras nas perguntas.

Has Andrew always liked Jessica? Do you often go out in the evening?

Quando o verbo BE aparece sozinho, o advérbio vem geralmente depois dele.

The boss is usually in a bad temper. You’re certainly a lot better today.

Quando há ênfase no verbo principal BE, ou no auxiliar, o advérbio vem geralmente antes dele.
You certainly are a lot better today. I really have made a mess, haven’t I?
