Pengertian Viewpoint Adverb
Viewpoint adverb adalah adverb (kata keterangan) yang menambahkan informasi berupa pendapat speaker terhadap suatu kejadian. Biasanya kata keterangan ini tidak memberi informasi tentang bagaimana sesuatu terjadi.
Viewpoint adverb seringnya berada di luar clause, di depan atau di belakang kalimat, untuk menerangkan keseluruhan kalimat. Selain di depan atau di belakang kalimat, kata ini mungkin ditempatkan setelah subject.
