副詞の種類の中からいくつか用法について説明します。
態度·状態を表す副詞 -Adverbs of Manner
Beautifully や、slowly など、動作の態度や状態を表す副詞は、通常、主動詞または目的語の後に持ってきます。動詞と目的語を分断するように副詞を置いてはいけません。

She sings this song powerfully.
× She sings powerfully this song.
副詞を強調したい時は、動詞の前に持ってくることもあります。

ただし、WELL, BADLY, HARD, FAST は、動詞の前に持ってくることはありません。
She performed the task well.
× She well performed the task.

頻度を表す副詞 - Adverbs of Frequency

usually, frequently
often
sometimes, occasionally
rarely*, seldom*, not often*
hardly* ever, scarcely ever, almost never
never* （0%)

頻度を表す副詞は、単語によって位置が異なります。
