副詞的功用與位置

1. 功用：副詞用以修飾動詞、形容詞、副詞本身或整個獨立子句。

例：

1. Mr. Chan speaks English extremely fluently. (fluently“流利地”修飾speaks，而extremely“非常地”修飾fluently)

2. Fortunately he passed the entrance examination. (修飾整個子句)

3. The problem is virtually difficult. (virtually“真正地”修飾difficult)

2. 位置：副詞常用於下列位置：

(a) adv+ adj或adv：副詞修飾形容詞或副詞本身則擺在前面，但enough例外，其位置應為adj或adv+ enough。

例：1. The child is totally independent. (totally“完全地”修飾independent)

2. He writes very carelessly. (修飾carelessly)

3. He didn’t run fast enough to catch the train. (enough修飾fast)

(b) V+地方副詞+時間副詞

例：

1. He was born in Taiwan in 1980.

若副詞中有大單位與小單位，則順序應為“小單位+大單位”。

例：

1. I happened to see him at a bookstore in Taipei at 8：30 last night.

2. He was born in Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C.

(c) 時間副詞(always, often, usually, never, ever, suddenly, sometimes, still, frequently, seldom, hardly, scarcely“幾乎不”)在動詞片語中的位置為(1)S+ be+時間副詞，(2)S+時間副詞+V，(3)S+助動詞+時間副詞+動詞。

例：

1. Ann is often at the library in the evening.

2. My father usually gets up before 5：30.

3. We will never forget your kindness.

(d) 助動詞+副詞+動詞：擺在助動詞與動詞之間一定要用副詞，以修飾動詞。

例：

1. I would totally agree with you.

2. We can easily understand what he means.

3. They have completely solved their problem.

(e) V+ O+ adv：若動詞表達“認為”或“使‥”則用adj當受詞補語，其它意思則用adv以修飾動詞。

例：

1. Jack opened the door slowly.
