Adverbs of place indicate where something happened or happens. They are usually placed after the main verb. Although adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, adverbs of place do not modify adjectives or other adverbs. They describe the location of where the action word is taking place.
These adverbs of time indicate no specific location or direction. The word ends in "where".
