What is Adverb?
An adverb is a word that changes or
qualifies the meaning of a verb. An adverb indicates manner, time, place, cause,
or degree and answers questions such as "how," "when," "where," "how much". This
post will discuss adverbs of place in Arabic grammar, how to use them and the
word that comes after them.

What is

of a verb is carried out. In Arabic, it called ظرف المكان (= tharfu

Let's have a look to this
picture:

The English words inside
gray squares are considered adverbs of place, but the Arabic words, even though
they indicate places, are considered as حرف جر (= harf jar: preposition),
على - في - مِن - إلى - بـ, which are treated in different way.

Arabic Tips:
* هنا (= huna: here)
and هُنَاك (= hunak: there) are أسماء إشارة (= asma'a esharah:
demonstrative pronounces) even they indicate place, but they aren't adverb of
place.
* The noun after adverb of place in Arabic always is identified with
article "the" الـ.
Example: الكُرةُ خَلْفَ الصَنْدُوق.
الصندوق comes
identified with article الـ (= al-: the)
