语法 Grammar in use
1.副词
副词(adverb)这个词的本意是补充动词的意义。这就是许多副词的作用。它们可以通过修饰动词告诉我们有关句中某个动作的情况,也就是告诉我们某事是如何、何时、何地等发生或进行的。
副词可以是单个的词(如 slowly)或词组(如 very well)。单一副词既有以-ly结尾的也有不以-ly结尾的(如 quickly, fast)。
形容词向副词的转换一般遵循3个规则:
(1)在形容词后面直接加-ly,如:
quick----quickly hurried----hurriedly pleasant----pleasantly warm----warmly
(2)以-y结尾的形容词,则把-y改成-i,再加-ly,如: thirsty----thirstily happy----happily
(3)形容词与副词形式相同:如: late----late fast----fast hard----hard well----well
2.部分不规则动词的过去式形式
go----went see----saw understand----understood take----took read----read /red/ drink----drank
run----ran know----knew say----said put----put cut----cut eat----ate meet----met come----came
lose----lost tell----told speak----spoke find----found give----gave swim----swam have----had

副词在句子中起着至关重要的作用,它们能够提供关于动作或状态的额外信息,如程度、时间、地点、方式等。通过这些信息,副词帮助我们更准确地理解句子的意义。
注意: 并非所有以-ly结尾的词都是副词,有些可能是形容词,如“friendly”和“motherly”。同样,不是所有形容词通过加-ly就能转换成副词,有些形容词转换成副词时有特殊的形式,需要特别记忆。
英语中的动词有许多是不规则的,这意味着它们在过去式中的形式不是通过简单地添加-ed后缀来形成的。这些不规则动词的过去式形式必须通过记忆来掌握。
以下是一些常见的不规则动词及其过去式形式:
掌握这些不规则动词的过去式对于学习英语非常重要,因为它们在日常交流中非常常见。通过不断练习和使用这些动词,可以提高语言的流利度和准确性。
