Наречия оценки и точки зрения

Существуют наречия и наречные выражения, которые комментируют действие или сообщают точку зрения или мнение говорящего об этом действии. Такие наречия отличаются от других наречий, поскольку не сообщают нам, как произошло действие. Наречия оценки и точки зрения влияют на все предложение целиком, а не на отдельные глаголы, наречия или прилагательные. Кроме места в предложении большой разницы между наречиями, которые выражают оценку и точку зрения, нет. Многие наречия, которые выражают точку зрения, могут быть использованы и как наречия оценки. Тем не менее некоторые наречия могут иметь более распространённый, общий характер, чем другие

Место в предложении

Viewpoint adverbs стоят в начале предложения, и реже -- в конце предложения. Обычно такия наречия в предложении выделяются запятой. Commenting adverbs стоят перед сказуемым, только если в роли сказуемого не высупает глагол "to be", в таком случае наречие может быть как до, так и после глагола. В некоторых случаях commenting adverbs, которые стоят перед сказуемым, могут быть выделены запятыми в предложении, хотя в большинстве случаев они не обособляются запятыми. В нижеследующих примерах наречия оценки и точки зрения показаны с точки зрения правильного расположения в предложении. Когда их место в предложении необычное, неестественное или слишком формально для устной речи -- такие случаи отмечены звёздочкой.
