Here's how it works:
* Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
* Adverbs of place specifically tell you the location of something.
Examples:
* Here, there, everywhere, nowhere, upstairs, downstairs, inside, outside, nearby, far away, above, below
Sentence examples:
* The cat is sleeping under the table. (under is an adverb of place)
* I went to the store to buy some milk. (to the store is a prepositional phrase acting as an adverb of place)
* She lives in a small town. (in a small town is a prepositional phrase acting as an adverb of place)
