文字稿

Welcome to BBC Learning English! I'm Sam and today we're going to look at adverbs of frequency.

You know these… always, sometimes, never…

But, where do they go in a sentence? Look at always in this sentence – does it come before or after the verb?

Helen always starts work at 7:00.

The verb is ‘starts’ and always comes before. Rule number one.

Next sentence: Helen isn’t always happy about this.

The verb is 'is' and always was after. Rule number two.

Last sentence: Helen has always hated early starts.

Trick question! There was an auxiliary verb 'has' and a main verb 'hated' and always went after the auxiliary verb. Rule number three.

用法總結

三條規律記住部分頻率副詞在句子中的位置：

1. 頻率副詞在行為動詞前。

• Helen always starts work at 7:00.

2. 頻率副詞在系動詞 “be” 后。

• Helen isn’t always happy about this.

3. 主動詞前面有助動詞的情況下，頻率副詞放在助動詞后。

• Helen has always hated early starts.
