When to use Mood Adverbs 毕竟, 居然, 果然, 的确, 简直, 反而

These adverbs usually go after the subject and before the verb, and they add the speaker’s attitude; 毕竟 can also open the sentence: 毕竟他还小. 毕竟 “after all” gives the fact that decides the matter, often to explain or excuse something. 居然 “actually, to my surprise” marks a result you did not expect. 果然 “sure enough” marks a result that matches what was said or expected. So 居然 and 果然 are opposites: surprise versus confirmation.

别生气了，他毕竟是第一次做。

Don’t be angry, it’s his first time doing it, after all.
