1.副詞在句子中各有不同位置,歸納一下可有下面幾種情況:
1)多數(shù)副詞都放在所修飾動詞后面(a),若修飾的是及物動詞,則放在賓語后面(b):
a.Everything went smoothly.
一切進行順利。
You must write carefully.
你要仔細寫。
b.She didn't do it intentionally.
她不是故意這樣做的。
Have a good rest tonight.
今晚好好休息。
2)頻度副詞位置比較特殊,一般放在所修飾動詞的前面(a),如果句中有情態(tài)動詞、助動詞或動詞to be,就放在這類動詞(第一個)的后面(b):
a.She often does this.
她常常這樣做。
I sometimes go there on business.
我有時到那里出差。
b.You must always keep this in mind.
你要經(jīng)常記住這一點。
He is seldom ill.
他很少生病。
He has never been late.
他從不遲到。
2.有一些副詞,如already,(not)yet,once,nearly,almost,just,really, suddenly,certainly,still,soon,surely等也放在這樣的位置,如:
1) I almost forgot about it.
我差點忘掉這事了。
She suddenly fell i11.
她突然生病了。
2) You must really be careful.
你真的要小心。
We'll soon let you know.
我們不久會通知你。
上面所談副詞中也有少數(shù)可以放在謂語后面,如:
Such things do happen sometimes.
這種事的確有時會發(fā)生。
She'11 be back soon (shortly).
她不久就回來。
3.表示方式的副詞有時也可以放在動詞前面:
He quietly left the room.
他悄悄地離開了房間。
We gladly accepted their invitation.
我們高興地接受了他們的邀請。
