什么是副词

副词(adverb)修饰动词、形容词和其他副词等,说明时间、地点、程度、方式等概念。如:often往往,here这里,very很,quickly很快地。

副词的构成

1)本身就是副词,如now现在,there那里,rather颇。

2)由形容词加词尾-1y变来,如firmly坚决地,happi1y幸福地。

3)与形容词同形

early adj. 早的 early adv.

high adj. 高的 high adv. 高高地

long adj. 长的,长久的long adv. 长久地

副词的种类

副词可分为下列几种:

1)普通副词(ordinary adverb)如:together一起,well好,seriously认真地,slowly慢,carefully小心地。

2)疑问副词(interrogative adverb)如:when何时,where何地,how如何,why为何。

3)关系副词(relative adverb)如:wherewhen

4)连接副词(conjunctive adverb)如:then然后,so所以,there{ore所以,however然而,hence所以,thus这样,nevertheless然而,otherwise否则,still可是,仍然。

副词的用法

副词在句中可用作:

1)状语(这是副词在句子中的主要功用)

It is raining hard.雨下得很大。(副词hard作状语,修饰动词is raining)

Don't drive too fast.车子不要开得太快。(fast是副词,作状语,修饰动词drive,副词too又修饰副词fast)

He speaks English quite well.他英语讲得相当好。(well修饰动词speaksquite又修饰副词well)

This is a fairly useful tool,这是一件相当有用的工具。(fairly修饰形容词useful)

He has always helped his sister with her homework.他一向帮助他妹妹做家庭作业。(always修饰动词has helped)

She often went there.她常到那儿去。(oftenthere均是副词,修饰动词went)

2)表语

She is out.她出去了。

3)定语

副词的位置

1)修饰动词时,有三种位置。

2)修饰形容词和副词时,须放在被修饰词之前。如:

It is a rather difficult job,这是一件颇为困难的工作。(rather修饰形容词difficult)

He runs very fast.他跑得很快。(very修饰副词fast)

3)副词作定语时,一般放在被修饰的名词之后。如:

On my way homeI met groups of Young Pioneers.在回家的路上我遇见成群的少先队员。

副词的比较等级

和形容词同形的副词的形式变化与形容词完全相同。但以词尾-1y结尾的副词(注意early一词的-1y不是副词的词尾)须用moremost。另外,须注意下面例词中wellbadly的不规则变化。如:

原级比较级 最高级

hard 努力地harderhardest

fast faster fastest

well better best

badly worseworst

early earlier earliest

quickly more quicklymost quickly

happily 快乐地 more happily most happily

副词比较等级的用法

1)副词比较级的用法与形容词比较级相似。如:

They speak less fluently but more correctly than we do.他们讲得不如我们流利,但比我们正确。

2)副词最高级用法,除副词前可以不用the(the也可以),其余与形容词最高级相同。如:

I work fastest when I'm under pressure.我在有压力时工作得最快。

He swims the best in Class One.一班他游泳最好。

比较等级的一些特殊用法

两种不同形式

有几个形容词和副词的比较级和最高级有两种的比较等级不同形式,而且意义也不同。

举例说明:

1)Rome is one of the oldest cities in the world. 罗马是世界上最古老的城市之一。

Her eldest daughter is a school teacher.她大女儿是个教员。

3)Who spoke last?是谁最后发言的?

[]注意as后面的形容词如作定语,而被定语修饰的名词有不定冠词a时,冠词a须放在形容词之后,如German is as difficult a language as English.(德语和英语一样难学。)。这样的词序也适用于so,如I have never seen so beautiful a place as Guilin before.(我过去从未见过像桂林这样美丽的地方。)

2)tian An Men Square was not so big as it is now.天安门广场过去没有现在这样大。
