THE ADVERB.

The natural position of the adverb is after the verb, as—

El convendría de muy buena gana: He would willingly consent.

But a great liberty is allowed in this respect, as—

Seguramente firmaría el endoso: He would certainly sign the endorsement.

Siempre se lo voy repitiendo: I keep always repeating it to him.

Mucho is the only adverb which does not generally admit of "very" for the superlative; it takes ísimo instead. However "muy mucho" is found, especially when used jocularly.
