頻率副詞告訴我們某件事在以前,現(xiàn)在以及未來(lái)發(fā)生的頻率,比如always、often、usually,這些都是頻率副詞,那么該怎么用呢?

always:

Peter is always getting into trouble.
彼得總是遇到麻煩。

usually:

They usually get their work done on time.
他們通常按時(shí)完成工作。

frequently:

My sister frequently goes shopping in Seattle.
我妹妹經(jīng)常去西雅圖購(gòu)物。

rarely:

They rarely ask questions about the homework.
關(guān)于家庭作業(yè)他們很少提問(wèn)。

頻率由高到低:

always:總是

He always does his homework.
他總是完成作業(yè)。

usually:通常

They usually complete the work on time.?
他們通常按時(shí)完成工作。

often:經(jīng)常

我經(jīng)常在網(wǎng)上看電影。

sometimes:有時(shí)候

Jack sometimes comes over for dinner.
杰克有時(shí)會(huì)過(guò)來(lái)吃飯。

occasionally:偶爾

She occasionally asks a question.
她偶爾會(huì)問(wèn)一個(gè)問(wèn)題。

rarely:很少

They rarely have any homework.
他們很少有作業(yè)要做。

never:從不

I never complain at work.
我在工作中從不抱怨。

那么,頻率副詞在句中應(yīng)該放在什么位置呢?我們來(lái)看看下面的規(guī)則:

如果句子中有一個(gè)動(dòng)詞(例如沒(méi)有助動(dòng)詞),我們通常將副詞放在句子的中間,即在主語(yǔ)之后,動(dòng)詞之前:

subject / adverb / verb / predicate

主語(yǔ)/副詞/動(dòng)詞/ 謂語(yǔ)

Tom usually goes to work by car.?

湯姆經(jīng)常開(kāi)車去上班。

Mary often asks me for help.?

瑪麗經(jīng)常請(qǐng)我?guī)兔Α?/p>

頻率副詞通常放在“be”動(dòng)詞之后:

subject /be verb / adverb / predicate

主語(yǔ)/be動(dòng)詞/副詞/謂語(yǔ)

Tom is often late.?

湯姆經(jīng)常遲到。

Anne isn't usually sick.?

安妮通常不怎么生病。

Peter isn't always right.?

彼得并不總是對(duì)的。

如果我們將頻率副詞放在句子的開(kāi)頭或結(jié)尾表示強(qiáng)調(diào),則情況并非如此。而且此規(guī)則也不適用于簡(jiǎn)短回答:

Is she usually on time??

她通常準(zhǔn)時(shí)嗎?

Tell her not to be late.?

告訴她不要遲到。

Yes, she usually is.?

是的,她通常是。

She never is.?

她從來(lái)不。

如果句子中有多個(gè)動(dòng)詞(例如助動(dòng)詞),我們通常將頻率副詞放在第一個(gè)動(dòng)詞之后:

subject / helping verb or modal / adverb / main verb / predicate

主語(yǔ)/助動(dòng)詞或情態(tài)動(dòng)詞/副詞/主動(dòng)詞/謂語(yǔ)

I can never forget his name.?

我從來(lái)都不會(huì)忘記他的名字。

Anne doesn't usually smoke.?

安妮通常不抽煙。

The children have often complained about the playground facilities.?

孩子們經(jīng)常抱怨游樂(lè)場(chǎng)的設(shè)施。

例外:

在含有“have to”的句子中,頻率副詞位于所有動(dòng)詞之前:
subject / adverb / have to / main verb / predicate

主語(yǔ)/副詞/have to/主動(dòng)詞/謂語(yǔ)

We often have to wait for the bus.?

我們經(jīng)常要等公共汽車。

She never has to do any housework.?

她從不做任何家務(wù)。

為了表示強(qiáng)調(diào),我們可以將頻率副詞放在句子的開(kāi)頭或結(jié)尾。

首先,把它放在最后是很少見(jiàn)的。我們通常只在我們忘記把它放在開(kāi)頭時(shí)才把它放在結(jié)尾。

adverb / subject / main verb / predicate

副詞/主語(yǔ)/主動(dòng)詞/謂語(yǔ)

Sometimes we go to school by bus.?

有時(shí)候我們乘公共汽車上學(xué)。

Often he waits for her after class.?

他經(jīng)常在課后等她。

subject / main verb / predicate / adverb

主語(yǔ)/主動(dòng)詞/謂語(yǔ)/副詞

We go to school by bus sometimes.?

我們有時(shí)乘公共汽車去學(xué)校。

They like to watch TV often.?

他們經(jīng)常喜歡看電視。

例外情況:
“Always” 不能放在句子的開(kāi)頭或結(jié)尾。

“Never”,“seldom”,“rarely”不能放在句子結(jié)尾。他們只用于“陳述”的句子開(kāi)頭。然后他們必須遵循疑問(wèn)句的詞序:

Never has there been a better time to overcome our differences.?

從未有過(guò)比這更好的時(shí)機(jī)來(lái)克服我們的分歧。

Rarely do we have an opportunity like this.?

我們很少有這樣的機(jī)會(huì)。

在疑問(wèn)句中使用頻率副詞時(shí),請(qǐng)將副詞放在主動(dòng)詞之前:

auxiliary verb / subject / adverb / main verb / predicate?

助動(dòng)詞/主語(yǔ)/副詞/主動(dòng)詞/謂語(yǔ)

Do you often go to the cinema??

你常去電影院?jiǎn)幔?/p>

Do they usually come late to class??

他們經(jīng)常上課遲到嗎?

例外:
“Never”,“seldom”,“rarely”以及帶有否定含義的其他頻率副詞通常不會(huì)在疑問(wèn)句中使用。

當(dāng)在否定句中使用頻率副詞時(shí),請(qǐng)將頻率副詞放在主動(dòng)詞之前:

Subject / helping verb / adverb / main verb / predicate?

主語(yǔ)/助動(dòng)詞/副詞/主動(dòng)詞/謂語(yǔ)

They don't often go to the cinema.?

他們不經(jīng)常去電影院。

Peter doesn't normally want to come with us.?

彼得通常不想和我們一起來(lái)。?

你用錯(cuò)過(guò)頻率副詞嗎?
