Fronted adverbialsAn adverbial is a word or phrase that has been used like an adverb to add detail or further information to a verb. (An easy way to remember what an adverb is: it adds to the verb.)

Next to the colossal, rocky mountains, I stood and waited. All night long, they were up in the sky. Luckily, I managed to get out of there. REMEMBER THERE NEEDS TO BE A COMMA AFTER THE FRONTED
