00I wondered if anyone could explain to me where to place the adverb in a sentence. Is there a specific rule? Does it actually matter?02br
00Example:02br
02br
00The number of ecological disasters such as tsunamis or tornados has 01i00worryingly02i00 increased 01i00(worryingly?)02i00 over the last years.02br
02br
00[...] to 01i00better 02i00understand 01i00(better?) 02i00what is being said.02br
02br
00Thanks in advance.02br
