1.如果句子里有谓语动词(不包含助动词) , 则把程度副词放在主谓之间
结构:主语 程度副词 调语动词
【例如】
Tom usually goes to work by car.
汤姆通常开车去上班。
Mary often asks me for help.
玛丽经常向我求助。
2.放在be动词之后
结构:主语 be 程度副词
【例如】
Tom is often late.汤姆经常迟到。
Anne isn't usually sick.安妮通常不会生病。
Peter isn't always right.
彼特并非永远正确。
注意:如果我们把程度副词放在省略句中,则该结构不成立。
【例如】
Is she usually on time?
她通常都准时吗?
Yes, she usually is.是的,她通常都是。
She never is.她从不是。
口语中还有其他的习惯表达,也不必要遵循上述结构。
【例如】
What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at school?
你怎么在这儿?你不应该在学校吗?
I normally am at school at this time, but my teacher is ill.
通常这时候我应该在学校,但是老师生病了。
3.如果句中有多个动词(包含助动词) , 则把程度副词放在谓语结构的第一个动词之后
结构:主语 助动词或情态动词 程度副词 主动词
【例如】
I can never remember his name.
我总是记不住他的名字。
Anne doesn't usually smoke.
安妮通常不吸烟
The children have often complained about the playground facilities.
孩子们经常抱怨游乐场设施。
但在have to句型中存在例外。
结构:主语 程度副词 have to 主动词
【例如】
We often have to wait for the bus.
我们经常要等公车。
She never has to do any housework.
她从不需要做家务。
