用法讲解

adv. (副词)
  1. often的基本意思是“常常,经常”,主要修饰动词,也可修饰其他副词或形容词,指某件事情在不同场合下屡次发生,具体的时间意味不强。有时often还表示“在许多场合下”。可用于一般时态,也可用于完成体。
  2. often一般位于实义动词之前,而位于to be、情态动词或(第一个)助动词之后。有时为了加强语气, often也可以放在系动词之前,此时作谓语的系动词要重读。
  3. often有时也可放在句末。如果句子相当短,可将often放在句末,为了加强语气或对比,有时可以移至句首,这时常常引起主谓倒装(非正式语体中也可不倒装)。
  4. 用于疑问句或否定句中, often可以用作表语。
  5. often在用于询问“隔多长时间一次”或“多少次”时,常用于how often短语。
adv. (副词)
often, always, sometimes, usually
  • 这四个词意思相近。其区别是：
  • 1.表示的频率不同。例如：
  • He comes to school on Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,Saturday and even on Sunday.我们可说：He always goes to school.always表示的频率是100%。
  • He comes to school on Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday and Friday.我们可说：He usually goes to school.usually表示的频率是90%。
  • He comes to school on Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday and Thursday.我们可说：He often goes to school.often表示的频率是60%。
  • He comes to school on Monday and Thursday.我们可以说He sometimes goes to school.sometimes表示的频率是20%。
  • 2.always的反义词是never; often的反义词是seldom; usually的反义词是occasionally, sometimes的反义词是always。
    • often, frequently
  • 这两个词都可表示“经常”。其区别是：
  • often是常用词,强调的是经常性,具体时间意味不强; frequently比较正式,强调在某一具体时间内某事一次接一次地发生。试比较：
  • He comes here very often.
  • 他经常来这儿。
  • He comes here very frequently.
  • 他来这儿很频繁。
    • always，often，usually，frequently，repeatedly，regularly
  • 这些副词均表示频度。
  • always总是，永远。语气最强，指在一切时候，没有例外。
  • often经常，语气弱于always,侧重动作发生的次数具有经常性，具体时间意味不强。
  • usually通常，通例地，指习惯性动作，频度仅次于always，较often大，偶尔有间隔。
  • frequently时常，经常，与often同义，可通用，但较正式，强调次数频繁。
  • repeatedly屡次，强调次数多，但反复的频率不一定均匀。
  • regularly用于修饰经常而有规律性的动作。
    • 用作副词 (adv.)
