position of an adverb

[michauek]

hi,
what's the position of an adverb in a sentence? is it changable depending on meaning of some sentences?
e.g.
Tom showed clearly that he is annoyed.
Tom clearly showed that he is annoyed.


"Adverbs which modify adjectives or other adverbs usually immediately precede the words they modify "
but what about verbs?
thanks in advance

.
Both of your sentences mean the same. Adverbs should generally be near their referents, and yours are equally near (one before, one behind). Adverbs are relatively mobile, and some adverbs are more mobile than others. There is no absolute rule.
