Alabama Bus Plunge Kills 2

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama (AP) -- A school bus hurtled off an elevated highway today, injuring thirty-three students and killing two. The accident took place on Interstate 565, several miles away from here. An eyewitness claims the bus momentarily teetered against the guardrail on the side of the roadway prior to its descent to the street below.

A fine example of the form, which asks (or inquires of) the reader "where or what is here?"

So I have a really basic question about English grammar - should we always put our adverbs before our verbs? Is there some sort of rule that governs this?

I don't think so. There seems to be many cases where you can use adverbs after the verbs.

"He thought long and hard about it."

"He went to the store willingly."

"He worked intensely on the project."

Or, "the bus teetered momentarily..."
