频度副词(1)

频度副词

(always, often, usually, sometimes, never)

英语中最常见的频度副词，通常放在行为动词之前，系动词be、助动词和情态动词之后。它们所表示的含义和频度各不相同。

☆always 的频度为100%，表示动作重复、状态继续，意为“总是。

例：The sun always rises in the east.

太阳总是在东边升起。

☆usually的频度为70%左右，意为“通常，平常”，较少例外。

例：He usually goes to bed at ten o'clock.

他通常在十点钟上床睡觉。

☆often的频度为50%左右，意为“时常，经常”，不如usually那么频繁，表

示动作重复，中间有间断。very often语气比often重，常位于句首或句末。例：He is often late for school.

他经常上学迟到。

☆sometimes的频度为20%左右，意为“有时”，表示动作偶尔发生。

例：It is sometimes hot and sometimes cold.

天气有时热有时冷。

☆never的频度为0，意为“从来不，永不”。

例：My parents are never late for work.

我的父母上班从不迟到。

注意：

1. 频度副词在句中习惯上位于be动词、助动词或情态动词之后，行为动词之前。

2. 对频度副词进行提问时，要用how often。

例：How often do you go swimming? 你多久游一次泳？

I never go swimming. 我从来不游泳。

☆hardly可作副词，意为“几乎不，几乎没有”。如：Words can hardly describe how excited we were.

我们激动的心情难以形容。

☆never可作副词，意为“从未；决不”。如：

I have never doubted about her ability.

我对她的才能从未怀疑过。

☆seldom可作副词，意为“很少，不常”。如：

I seldom have lunch at home.

我很少在家吃午饭。

☆once 仅一次；一次

如：He cleans his car once a week.

他每周洗一次汽车。

次数的表达，通常用“基数词+times”（除一次、两次）。once一次，twice两次.
