Well, where's your data, Hela?
For example,
An adverb of manner tells us how or in what manner the action is
done. Can linking verbs such as seem, appear, grow, etc. be modified in that way?
An adverb of location tells us where the action takes place. Can verbs such as walk, drive, sit, etc. be modified that way?
An adverb of time tells us when the action takes place. Can verbs such as BE, seem, appear, etc. be modified that way?
