第4讲:副词之副词种类
副词主要用来修饰动词,形容词,副词或其他结构。定义:副词(Adverb-adv.) 用以修饰动词、形容词或其他副词的词叫做副词。例如: not(不),here(这里),now(现在)。副词和状语是两个概念,副词是词的一种类别,而状语则是一个句子成分,是词或词组在句子中所起的作用。另外,不少副词同时也可用作介词或其它词类。如:
Have you read this book before? (副词,作时间状语)
你以前读过这本书吗?
He will arrive before ten o’clock. (介词,before ten o’clock 是介词短语,作时间状语)
他将在10点钟前到达
副词的种类
