在英语语法中我们常常见到一类副词叫时间副词,下面来看看关于时间副词的用法。
一、still, already, just 等副词
still, already, just 等几个表示时间的副词通常位于句中(实意动词之前,动词be、助动词、情态动词之后)。如:
He’s just left for school. 他刚刚去学校。
I have already finished my work. 我已经做完了工作。
当要表示强调时,still和already也可位于动词be、助动词等之前。如:
She was still [still was] beautiful at the age of forty. 她到了40岁仍然很美。
I already have told him about it. 我已经把情况告诉他了。
still若用于否定句,则总是位于助动词之前:
I still don’t understand what you mean. 我还是不明白你的意思。
另外,still 和already 还可位于句末,表示惊奇:
Are you on page one still? 你还在看第1页?
Is your mother back already? 你妈妈就已经回来了?
二、表确定时间或非确定时间的副词
表确定时间的副词(如today, yesterday等)通常位于句末,有时也位于句首。如:
He went home yesterday. / Yesterday he went home. 他昨天回家了。
We have a very busy day ahead of us today. / Today we have a very busy day ahead of us. 今天迎接我们的将是非常忙碌的一天。
而那些表示非确定时间的副词(如 soon, recently, suddenly等)除可用于句末或句首外,还可位于句中(通常位于实意动词之前,动词be、助动词、情态动词之后):
He went to Paris recently. / He recently went to Paris. / Recently he went to Paris. 最近他去了巴黎。
