用法辨析

adv. (副詞)

• often的基本意思是“常常,經(jīng)常”,主要修飾動詞,也可修飾其他副詞或形容詞,指某件事情在不同場合下屢次發(fā)生,具體的時間意味不強。有時often還表示“在許多場合下”?？捎糜谝话銜r態(tài),也可用于完成體。
• often一般位于實義動詞之前,而位于to be、情態(tài)動詞或(第一個)助動詞之后。有時為了加強語氣, often也可以放在系動詞之前,此時作謂語的系動詞要重讀。
• often有時也可放在句末。如果句子相當短,可將often放在句末,為了加強語氣或?qū)Ρ?有時可以移至句首,這時常常引起主謂倒裝(非正式語體中也可不倒裝)。
• 用于疑問句或否定句中, often可以用作表語。
• often在用于詢問“隔多長時間一次”或“多少次”時,常用于how often短語。
