"My friend left in a rage."

Translation: 我的朋友生气地离开了。

[hippietrail]

Is the Chinese also grammatical in this order? 我的朋友离开了生气地

[nitedemon]

Nope, adverbs ending in 地 need to be in front of the verb it describes

[bugwine]

how do you use 地？

[uncannyrain]

Place it after adjectives to create adverbs. 生气 is an adjective meaning angry 生气地 is an adverb meaning angrily.. Almost as a LY suffix in English.

So is the english translation actually inaccurate ? Should it be 'My friend left angrily'.
