频率副词
一、定义
always, usually, often, sometimes, hardly ever (seldom), never等词在英文中被称为“频度副词”,是用来表示动作的频率,但程度上有别。一般来说按频率大小排列为:
频度副词
频度副词 词义 频率 英文释义
always 总是 100﹪ all the time
usually 通常 80﹪ often, generally
often 经常 60﹪ ( at ) many times
sometimes 有时 40﹪ at times, now and then
hardly ever 几乎不 20﹪ almost not, not at all
never 从不 0﹪ not ever, not at any time
二、位置
频率副词在句中通常位于情态动词和be动词之后、行为动词之前。如:
I often see her go to school on foot.
我经常见她步行去学校。
She can always get good grades in exams.
她总是能在考试中取得好成绩。
He is hardly ever late for work.
他上班几乎不迟到。
频度副词位置记忆口诀:
be后 主动前 助主间
针对频度副词和表示“在某段时间内某种动作的次数”的状语提问时,都要用how often。
换句话说,如果要回答由how often提问的句子,我们通常要用频度副词或诸如时间状语短语:every day, each week, once a week, twice a day, four times a month等来回答。
