When to Use Anytime (One Word)

​

Anytime, used as a single word, is an adverb, and it has a meaning similar to “whenever,” “at any time,” or “ on any occasion.”

作为一个单词使用时，anytime是一个副词，它的意思类似于“whenever(不论何时)”, “at any time(随时)”, or “on any occasion(在任何场合)”。

 

 

例：

If you have any questions, you can contact me anytime.

如果有任何问题，你可以随时联系我。

When to Use Any Time (Two Words)

Any time is a noun phrase, and it has a meaning similar to “any amount of time".

Any time是一个名词词组，它和“any amount of time”的意思一样。

Just like the one-word anytime, the two-word any time also functions adverbially, but it also has additional functions as a noun phrase.

就像单词anytime一样，两个单词的any time也有副词用法，但它除此之外还可以作为名词词组。

 

 

那么大家可能就会有疑问了，

既然这俩都可以作为副词，

那是不是就意味着他们可以互相替换呢?

其实并不可以

在我们在造句的时候，

尤其需要注意他们与介词连用时，

只有分开的两个词 any time 可以和介词连用，

举个例子：

I can hang out at any time tomorrow night. (CORRECT)

I can hang out at anytime tomorrow night. (WRONG)

因为介词后是不可以接副词的

大家在写作时一定要注意这些细节哦~
