Where to put adverbs
許多同學認為副詞只能放在句尾,其實除了句尾之外,副詞還可以放在其他很多的地方;也就是說副詞的位置不同,所強調修飾的字就不同。
1. | The teacher and students really have good rapport. (really 用來修飾動詞 have) The teacher and students have really good rapport. (really 用來修飾形容詞 good) |
2. | Paula really had a great time at her birthday party. (really 用來修飾動詞 have) Paula had a really great time at her birthday party. (really 用來修飾形容詞 great) |
3. | Two hundred people died in the earthquake nearly. *(不正確) Nearly two hundred people died in the earthquake. (nearly 用來修飾 two hundred people) He nearly died in the earthquake. (nearly 用來修飾 died) |
4. | She takes a bus to school usually. *(怪怪的) She usually takes a bus to school. (頻率副詞放在修飾動詞之前) |
(1)副詞
正確位置的應該是盡量接近修飾字的位置:如果修飾動詞,則靠近動詞,如修飾形容詞,則靠近形容詞。特別強調的字可放句首,不過並不多見。
(2)頻率副詞
如always、usually、often 多用來修飾動詞,應該放在動詞前,be動詞後面,例如 He often comes to school late 以及 He is often late for school。
