An adverb that modifies a verb is generally more flexible: it may appear before or after the verb it modifies ( softly sang or sang softly ), or it may appear at the beginning of the sentence ( Softly she sang to the baby). The position of the adverb may have an effect on the meaning of the sentence.
The official total had Thompson up by only five thousand votes. The US Department of Justice found at least 100,000 fraudulent votes (over 10% of Chicagoâs vote).

Approximately 13% of the United States' population is African American, yet African Americans make up 38% of the American prison population.
