Hanuman,

I'd like to add a little about the use of the adverb "right". I hope it will be useful to others as well.

The adverb "right" is typically used as a modifier of other adverbs, prepositional phrases, and adverbial clauses of time and place.

Examples:

TIME: exactly, immediately, without any delay or hesitation
right now, right before (the war),
