Adverbs first?

[Miss Mae]

Should an adverb be always placed before a verb? I wasn't able to get this particular sentence right until I interchanged the words!

Unfortunately, Liam (seem, also) to have difficulty learning foreign languages. I just hope we don't get lost and have to ask for directions.

My first answer that was marked wrong: Unfortunately, Liam seems also to have difficulty learning foreign languages. I just hope we don't get lost and have to ask for directions.

My second answer that was marked right: Unfortunately, Liam also seems to have difficulty learning foreign languages. I just hope we don't get lost and have to ask for directions.

I'm neither a Briton nor an English language wizard, but I considerably believe I can offer sort of assistance here. My understanding about the word 'also' is that it's a conjuctive adverb on a par with other adverbs like 'in addition' and 'additionally' and it serves to modify the whole verb phrase rather than an individual verb. Consequently, my judgement is that the construction ''also seems to have.'' is truly grammatically correct as opposed to ''seems also to have.'' To me, ''also seems to have'', in relation to your above sentence, means in addition to previously mentioned problems, the subject has this another problem. The meaning can't be evoked by ''seems also to have'', which I can't even explain its intended sense. My answer might be off considering that I'm but a beginning grammar studier; I suppose Carillo would conclusively solve the matter when he comes.

Thank you still, Mwita Chacha! I really just thought you can place adverbs anywhere in a sentence.

[Mwita Chacha]

Thanks! But why did you think I can place [an] adverb anywhere in a sentence? I guess you intended to say I thought one can place an adverb anywhere in a sentence.

An Adverb qualifies a Verb, so it is used before verb when there is no object in a sentence, but when there is an object noun in the sentence, Adverb is used after the subject noun.
