副词的形式
以-ly
结尾的副词
副词和形容词有很强的联系,它们通常基于同一个单词。副词经常以形容词+ly
的形式存在。
形容词 | 副词 |
---|---|
He was calm when I told him. | He behaved calmly. |
That was a beautiful presentation. | Your work is beautifully presented. |
以-ly
结尾的一些副词通常是关于方式(manner)和程度(degree)的副词。副词由以l
结尾的形容词变换而来,需要双写l
。副词由以y
结尾的形容词变换而来,需要将y
改成i
。副词由以辅音字母+e
结尾变换来的,保留e
。
beautiful -> beautifuly, careful -> carefully, hopeful -> hopefully
easy -> easily, busy -> busily, lucky -> luckily, angry -> angrily
definite -> definitely, fortunate -> fortunately, extreme -> extremely, absolute -> absolutely
以-ly
结尾的形容词
一些形容词以-ly
结尾,如lively
, lonely
, ugly
等, 副词通常不是由它们变换而来,因为不容易发音。通常换一种方式表达。
Don't act in a silly way.
Not:
Don't act sillily.She said it in a friendly way.
Not:
She said it friendlily.
以-ward(s)
或-wise
结尾的副词
有一小部分副词是以-ward(s)
或-wise
结尾的,以-ward(s)
结尾可以是-ward
或-wards
两者形式之一。
-wards: inwards, eastwards, upwards, downwards
-wise: clockwise, lengthwise, likewise
The doctor asked her to move her head upwards but she couldn't.
Turn the handle clockwise to start it.
和形容词有相同形式的副词
一些副词和形容词有着相同的形式,比较常见的有fast (not fastly)
, left
, hard
, outside
, right
, straight
, late
, well
和一些时间词,如:daily
, weekly
, monthly
, yearly
。
This coconut is really hard.
You have to bang the door hard to shut it.
当作为形容词时,通常用来修饰名词,或者跟在be
, become
, seem
, look
, smell
, taste
等这些动词后面。
和形容词没有联系的副词
一些副词如just
, quite
, so
, soon
, too
, very
等和形容词没有直接联系。
This is just what I am looking for. (just = exactly)
These cups are not quite the same. (not quite = not exactly)
Why is this road so narrow?
I look forward to seeing you soon.

指明程度的副词
很多副词和形容词一样,可以表达如质量,特性,状态,条件,关系等等的不同程度。

*** | *** | *** | *** |
---|---|---|---|

指明连接关系的副词
连接副词指明了两个分句或主句之间的关系,如时间序列、因果关系,两者差异等等:
I left my house in the morning then I went to pick up Irvine at her house. (时间序列)
We talked until the early hours and consequently I overslept the next morning. (因果关系)
The sun will be shining in France. However, heavy rain is expected in Spain. (差异)
通常使用then
和consequently
连接分句或句子在一起。but
和however
都表示差异,但but
连接两个分句为一个句子,however
并非如此:
There was no room for them but they got on the train.
There was no room for them. However, the got on the train.
指明时间关系的副词
