方式副詞

我們可以用多種方式使用副詞，從描述做某事的頻率到描述在何處做某事。那麼方式副詞呢？它們的用途是什麼以及我們如何使用它們？繼續閱讀以了解更多！

什麼是副詞？

副詞是描述我們如何、在何處或以何種頻率執行某個動作（或「動詞」）的詞。例如，

• She works here. (adverb of place)
• She often translates emails for her colleagues. (adverb of frequency)
• She types very quickly. (adverb of manner)

方式副詞

方式副詞描述你如何做某件事。例如

• They dress elegantly.
• Some elderly people drive slowly.
• She works very hard.

方式副詞非常有用，因為它們可以讓我們在描述中添加許多額外的細節，使我們所說的內容對聽眾或讀者來說更有趣、更有活力。

如何創建方式副詞

為了構成方式副詞，我們通常在形容詞後面加上-ly。例如，

• quick – quickly
• careful – carefully
• gentle – gently

當形容詞以 -y 結尾時，我們將 -y 改為 -i，然後加上 -ly。例如，

• happy – happily
• greedy – greedily
• easy – easily

但是，也有一些不規則副詞：

• good – well
• hard – hard
• fast – fast
• late – late
• straight – straight
• high – high

以下是一些範例：

• You speak English fluently.
• I slept badly last night.
• The children did really well in their test.
• He worked hard and got a promotion.
• The nurse picked up the baby gently.
• Try to do it carefully so we don’t have to redo it.
• A car suddenly came round the corner and nearly hit us!
• Julie tearfully said goodbye to her boyfriend.
• Go straight down this road then turn left.
• I hate getting up late.
• My brother drives very fast and aggressively.
• Kids, try to do your homework quietly, please.
• She dresses very elegantly, doesn’t she?
• Shall I close the lid tightly?
• It rained heavily all through the night.

方式副詞在句子中放在哪裡？

大多數情況下，方式副詞位於動詞之後。例如，

• We dress casually on Fridays.
• Athletes run very fast.
• The students are listening attentively.

但有時，副詞放在動詞之前，以強調其意義。例如，

• She hurriedly opened the present.
• They sadly left before we arrived.
• I quickly ran to the shops.

如果句子中有兩個動詞，副詞的位置可以改變句子的意思。例如，

• They accepted the offer immediately and moved out.
• They accepted the offer and moved out immediately.

在第一句中，「immediately」僅與第一個動詞相關，而在第二句中，「immediately」則指代兩個動作。

從這個例子可以看出，不能將動詞和受詞分開。例如，

• They accepted the offer immediately.

不是

• They accepted immediately the offer.

形容詞還是副詞？

我們使用形容詞來描述名詞，使用副詞來描述動詞。所以通常與形容詞一起使用的動詞是「to be」。例如，

• He’s a fast runner.
• She’s a careful driver.

如果我們將這兩個句子改為使用動詞而不是名詞，它們就變成：

• He runs fast.
• She drives carefully.

唯一可以與形容詞而不是副詞一起使用的其他動詞是 look、sound、smell 和 seem。我們使用這些動詞來描述我們所見、所聞或所嗅的事物。例如，

• You look tired. – From what I can see you’re tired.
• It sounds interesting. – From what I hear you’re tired.
• It smells delicious. – From the smell I can understand it’s very good.
• They seem bored. – From their appearance I think they’re bored.

方式副詞可以幫助我們詳細描述動作，並使我們更有表現力。當你聽到人們使用它們時，開始注意，並嘗試將它們添加到你自己的語言中。
