在副詞中,有一類副詞常用于描述我們在一段時間內(nèi)開展活動或做事的次數(shù),這類副詞我們稱之為頻率副詞,常見的有always,often,usually等等。
大家在日常使用中并未注意到它們的差別和用法,其實這類詞匯的用法也有大學(xué)問。

在沒有準(zhǔn)確數(shù)據(jù)來衡量頻率時,我們常用到下面這些不確定的頻率副詞,這些頻率副詞描述的頻率排序從高到低,可見下表。

除以上這些常用頻率副詞外,還有下面幾個長詞組型的頻率副詞,意為“有時”:
once in a while
every now and then
from time to time
確定頻率副詞
當(dāng)我們有確定數(shù)字的頻率時,如兩周一次、每天,這類頻率副詞描述的頻率是確定的。常見的確定頻率副詞有以下幾種構(gòu)成方法:
1. Number + Times + A + Time Period(單數(shù)形式)
如:once a day(表示一次時不能使用one time,而應(yīng)使用once)
twice a week(表示兩次時不能使用two time,而應(yīng)使用twice)
three times a month(表示三次及以上時,使用“數(shù)字+times”的形式)
2. Every + Time Period(單數(shù)形式) = Frequency adv
如:every day = daily
every week = weekly
every month = monthly
every year = annually
3. Every + Number + Time Period(復(fù)數(shù)形式)
如:every two days
every three weeks
every four years
頻率副詞在句中的位置
在使用頻率副詞時,其在句中的位置有約定俗成的規(guī)律,具體如下:
1. 主語+頻率副詞+實意動詞
如:I always do my homework after school.
2. 主語+be動詞+頻率副詞
如:He isn’t usually so generous.
3. 主語+情態(tài)動詞+頻率副詞+實意動詞或be動詞
如:I would never be unkind to others.
4. 可用于句首的頻率副詞:Usually, normally, often, frequently, sometimes, occasionally
不可用于句首的頻率副詞:Always, seldom, rarely, hardly, ever, never
如:Normally, he should arrive here on time.
當(dāng)頻率副詞放于句首時,一般有強調(diào)的意味。
