副詞的用法：

 

　　⑴ 修飾動詞，表示時間、地點、程度、方式、頻度等。一般位于動詞之后，如果動詞有賓語，則要位于賓語之后。頻度副詞常位于助動詞和連系動詞be 之后或實義動詞之前。例如：He arrived only yesterday. 他是昨天才到的。There were clothes lying here and there on the floor. 地板上到處都是衣服。I have been terribly worried about you all day. 我一整天都非常為你擔心。She plays the piano very well. 她鋼琴彈得很好。The boy is always asking his parents for money. 那個男孩老是向他父母要錢。She never goes to the cinema. 她向來不看電影。

 

　　⑵ 修飾形容詞、副詞、介詞短語，一般前置，只有enough例外，需要后置。例如：She seems quite happy. 她看上去相當愉快。You've done rather badly in the test. 你考得夠糟糕的。The wind was right in our faces. 風迎面吹來。This girl is not old enough to go to school. 這個女孩還沒有到上學的年齡。He didn't run fast enough to catch the train. 他跑得不夠快，沒有趕上火車。

 

　　⑶ 用作表語，多為與介詞同形的副詞和表示方位的副詞。例如：Is anybody in? 里面有人嗎?有人在家嗎?Father is away. 父親離家在外。I am downstairs and my brother is upstairs. 我住樓下，我哥哥住樓上。My friend is still abroad. 我的朋友還在國外。

 

　　⑷ 少數表示地點或時間的副詞還可用作定語，一般位于名詞之后。例如：I hope you'll enjoy your stay here. 希望你在這里過得愉快。I met a friend of mine on my way home. 在我回家的路上，我碰到一位朋友。What did you think of the meeting yesterday? 你覺得昨天的會開得怎樣?

 

　　⑸ 副詞的比較等級用法與形容詞一樣。
