I went for my Mandarin class last Wednesday. Below is what I've learnt.

Adverb
Word place in front of verb.
Subjective + Adverb + Verb + Objective

In class #4 we learn yě and dōu
yě : also, as well, too
dōu : all, both

for class #5 we learn one more adverb (hěn)
hěn : very much
hěn normally use with the word xiǎng

xiǎng
i. want to i.e. want to do something
ii. think about i.e. think about something
iii. miss i.e. miss somebody

xiǎng yi xiǎ

xiǎng yi xiǎng
