1.副词在句子中各有不同位置,归纳一下可有下面几种情况:
1)多数副词都放在所修饰动词后面(a),若修饰的是及物动词,则放在宾语后面(b):
a.Everything went smoothly.
一切进行顺利。
You must write carefully.
你要仔细写。
b.She didn't do it intentionally.
她不是故意这样做的。
Have a good rest tonight.
今晚好好休息。
2)频度副词位置比较特殊,一般放在所修饰动词的前面(a),如果句中有情态动词、助动词或动词to be,就放在这类动词(第一个)的后面(b):
a.She often does this.
她常常这样做。
I sometimes go there on business.
我有时到那里出差。
b.You must always keep this in mind.
你要经常记住这一点。
He is seldom ill.
他很少生病。
He has never been late.
他从不迟到。
2.有一些副词,如already,(not)yet,once,nearly,almost,just,really, suddenly,certainly,still,soon,surely等也放在这样的位置,如:
1) I almost forgot about it.
我差点忘掉这事了。
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.
我们不久会通知你。
上面所谈副词中也有少数可以放在谓语后面,如:
Such things do happen sometimes.
这种事的确有时会发生。
She'11 be back soon (shortly).
她不久就回来。
3.表示方式的副词有时也可以放在动词前面:
He quietly left the room.
他悄悄地离开了房间。
We gladly accepted their invitation.
我们高兴地接受了他们的邀请。
