...correctly understand (or) ...understand correctly.

I'm trying to figure out how to use the ly type of adverbs.
I don't know if they come before the verb or after.
Is this a style issue?

Hi guys,

If the adverb is the main focus of the sentence:
I angrily left the room: front position.

You can also say Angrily, I left the room to give even more emphasis.

Best wishes, Clive
