always、usually、sometimes 和 never 说的是多久一次。它们放在主要动词前面,放在 am、is、are 后面。
复习:always、usually、sometimes、never
I usually eat lunch at one.
We sometimes go to Ghafridge Cafe.
Our cafe is never busy on Monday.
Not "I eat usually lunch at one." — say "I usually eat lunch at one.". 像 usually 这样的副词,要放在主要动词前面。
试一试: Amina: How do you get to the park? Lars: By bike. I ___ ride it. I don't have a car. 选出 Lars 会说的话。 (sometimes / always / never) 答案: always — Lars 没有车,所以每次去公园都骑自行车,也就是总是骑车去:always。sometimes 表示只是有些天,never 表示一天都没有。
Not "She carries the vase careful." — say "She carries the vase carefully.". 想说她是怎么拿的,就加 -ly:carefully。
试一试: Lars: There are toys all over the stairs. Amina: Thanks. I'll walk ___. 选出 Amina 会说的话。 (careful / carefully / loudly) 答案: carefully — 想说 Amina 走过玩具时怎么走,就在 careful 后面加 -ly:carefully。careful 说的是一个人是什么样的,而在楼梯上大声走(loudly)也没什么用。
well、fast、hard(不加 -ly)
有些词不加 -ly。good → well。fast 和 hard 不变:a fast train goes fast,a hard worker works hard。
She sings well.
The train goes fast.
They work hard on the farm.
Not "She sings very good." — say "She sings very well.". 想说她唱得怎么样,要用 well,不用 good。
试一试: Lars: Our new mail carrier is great. Amina: Yes. She walks ___, and our mail is here early. 选出 Amina 会说的话。 (loudly / fast / good) 答案: fast — 邮件来得早,是因为邮递员走得快:fast,而 fast 不变,不加 -ly。大声走路(loudly)不会让邮件早到,good 说的是东西怎么样,不是你怎么走。
once a week、twice a week、every day:多久一次
你也可以用 once a week、twice a week 或 every day 来说多久一次。它们放在句子末尾。
I call my parents once a week.
We play soccer twice a week.
I clean my room every day.
试一试: Lars: How often do you have science class? Amina: On Monday and Thursday. I have it ___. 选出 Amina 会说的话。 (once a week / every day / twice a week) 答案: twice a week — 星期一和星期四是两天,所以 Amina 是一周上两次:twice a week。once a week 是一天,every day 是全部七天。
Not "The bus is very slowly today." — say "The bus is very slow today.". is 后面说的是公交车是什么样的:slow。
试一试: Lars: Can I use your computer? Amina: Sure, but it's old and ___. 选出 Amina 会说的话。 (slowly / slow / loudly) 答案: slow — 在 it's 后面,Amina 说的是她的旧电脑是什么样的,所以用 slow。slowly 和 loudly 说的是某人怎么做事,不是东西是什么样的。
