ADVERBS: Use the following words and phrases, in italics, in the correct order to rewrite the sentences (sometimes other changes must be made): 1. The press office advised us not to discuss the matter. (before the conference / last week / publicly)
Before the conference, the press office advised us not to discuss the matter publicly last week.

There are probably more than one way to locate the phrases and some choices may effect the meaning of the sentence.
The press office advised us last week not to publicly discuss the matter before the conference.
In this sentence before the conference is a where adverb, not a time adverb. (similar to testifying before the U. S. Senate...it has nothing to do with time)
Last week, before the conference, the press office publicly advised us to not discuss the matter. (before the conference is a time adverb)
The press office advised us to not publicly discuss the matter last week before the press conference.
All of the sentences have different meanings. (e.g. last week can be when you were advised or when to discuss the matter, Publicly can modify either advised, or discuss with different meanings.) Before the conference can be a time adverb or a when adverb, etc.
Correcto Recuerda que todos los averbios en una oración llevan ly Como una relga siempre son colocados cerca del verbo que modifican..
