第03练 how often引导的特殊疑问句
一、how often引导的特殊疑问句
1. how often 意为"多久(一次)",它引导的特殊疑问句用来询问某动作发生的频率。how often通常是对一些表示频率的副词提问,如:always,usually,often,sometimes,never等,也可以对表示"多久几次"之类的频率短语提问,如once a week,twice a year,three times a day等。
☞ —How often do you go back home? 你多久回家一次?
—Once a week/Often/Sometimes. 一周一次/经常/有时。
2. 特别提示:若仅对像once,twice,three times这样只表示次数的词语提问,要用how many times"多少次",不用how often。
☞ —How many times have you been to Beijing? 你去过北京多少次?—Only once. 仅仅一次。
3. 注意how often与其他短语的区别
(1)how long主要用来提问动作延续了多长时间,答语通常含有"for + 一段时间"、"since + 时间点"或since引导的时间状语从句。问句和答语中的谓语动词通常为延续性动词。how long也可以用来询问长度。
☞ —How long can I keep this book? 这本书我能借多长时间?
—For two weeks. 两周。
☞ —How long is the bridge? 这座桥有多长?
—About 1,000 meters. 大约1,000米。
(2)how soon用来询问"过多久"动作才发生,谓语动词常为终止性动词,时态多为将来时,答语通常为"in +一段时间"。
☞ —How soon will you get here? 你还有多久能到这里?
—In five minutes. 五分钟以后。
(3)how far用来询问两地之间的距离"有多远"。
☞ —How far is it from your home to your factory? 你家离你的工厂有多远?
—About twenty minutes’ walk. 步行大约20分钟。
