Questions & Answers about Sono sicuramente in ufficio adesso.
How is the adverb sicuramente formed?
How do we know sono means 'they are' instead of 'I am' here?
Why is it in ufficio rather than nell'ufficio?
For certain common everyday locations, Italian simply uses the preposition in without combining it with the definite article (the). In ufficio is a set phrase, just like in banca (at the bank) or in classe (in class).
Could I put sicuramente at the very end of the sentence?
You can, but placing it immediately after the verb is the most natural word order in Italian for adverbs of manner. Putting it right after sono naturally emphasizes your certainty about the situation.
