来源:微学外语考试频道发布时间:2008-10-23

 (a)always,continually,frequently,occasionally,often,once,twice,periodically,repeatedly,sometimes,usually等(b)ever,hardly ever,never,rarely,scarcely ever,seldom等A 以上两组副词通常用在下列位置:
  1 动词be的一般现在时后面:
  He is always in time for meals.
  他总是赶得上吃饭。
  2 放在其他动词的一般现在时前面:
  They sometimes stay up all night.
  他们有时整夜不睡。
  3 动词如是复合时态并由一个以上动词构成时,这类副词放在第一个助动词后面;如果动词是疑问式,则放在助动词+主语之后:
  He can never understand.
  他永远也不会明白的。
  You have often been told not to do that.
  多次告诫过你别干那事。
  Have you ever ridden a camel?
  你骑过骆驼吗?
  特殊情况
  (a)这类副词放在used to和have to的前面:
  You hardly ever have to remind him;he always remembers.
  你根本不用提醒他;他总是记得的。
  (b)如在补充陈述或答话中单独使用助动词,频度副词常放在这类动词之前:
  —Can you park your car near the shops?
  —Yes,I usually can.
  —你可以在商店附近停车吗?
  —是的,通常可以。
  I know I should take exercise,but I never do.
  我知道我应该进行体育锻炼,但我从来没这样做过。如助动词应重读时,频度副词也常放在助动词之前:
  I never′can remember.
  我永远也记不住。
  She hardly ever′has met him.
  她几乎从来没有遇见过他。
  当do用于表示强调时,也是如此:
  I always′do arrive in time!
  我总是及时到达的!
  也可以用重读的频度副词来表示强调,这时频度副词仍放在助动词后面:
  You should′always check your oil before starting.
  每次开车启动前你必须检查一下油量。
