2023-11-14 17:31:38 495浏览

often是一个英语单词,可以用作副词,可以翻译为常常、经常,等等。

often的比较级和最高级:

often的比较级:more often。

often的最高级:most often。

often的用法:

1、关于位置。

(1)表示“经常”,通常放在行为动词之前,特殊动词(助动词、情态动词以及动词be)之后。

如:

He was often late for class.

他上课经常迟到。

We often go skating together.

我们常常一道去溜冰。

You must often come to see us.

你要常来看我们。

(2)如果句子较短或为了强调,often可以放在句末。

如:

You won’t see her often. 

你不会常常看到她的。

如果句子较长或为了强调,often也可以放句首。

如:

Often I miss breakfast and have an early lunch instead. 

我常常不吃早餐,而吃一顿早午餐。

有时位于句首或句末是因为本身带有修饰语(如quite, very, so等)。

如:

Quite often the phone rings when I’m in the bath. 

电话经常在我洗澡时响。

(3)有时often不是用于说明句子中的动词,而是用于说明整个句子的,此时也通用于句首。

如:

Often, in the evening, we’d hear the sirens.

常常我们会在傍晚听到警报声。

Often, when he should have been doing something useful, he wasted his time drawing little pictures.

常常当他应当干些正经事时,他却浪费时间画小画。

(4)often置于句首时,有时其后可接倒装语序(但这并不是必需的)。如:

Often had she intended to speak of this. 

她常想说及此事。

Often did we warn them not to do so. 

我们曾多次警告过他们,不要这样做。

2、关于时态:

often通常与一般现在时或一般过去时连用,此外它还有以下用法值得注意:

(1)与现在完成时连用,强调动词的一惯性和经常性。

如:

You have often been told not to do that. 

多次告诫过你别干那事。

I have often heard of him working hard.

我常听人说他刻苦用功。

(2)与情态动词will连用,表示一种惯常的行为。

如:

In fine weather, he will often sit in the sun for hours.

天气晴朗时,他常在阳光下坐好几个小时。

When you look at clouds they will often remind you of animals. 

你观察云彩的时候,往往会联想起动物。

(3)与情态动词would连用,表示过去惯常的行为。

如:

When we were students we would often stay up all night.

我们当学生时,经常通宵不睡。

As he grew older, he would often talk about his war experiences.

他年岁大了,常常讲他的战争经历。

3、在否定句中的位置:

在否定句中,often可位于否定词not之前或之后。

如:

They don’t often hold such parties. 

他们不常开这样的晚会。

Statistics and surveys often don’t prove very much at all. 

数据和调查常常证明不了什么。

4、as often as 用法:

用于 as often as,有两个意思是,一是表示“与……一样次数多”。

如:

He came as often as he could. 

他尽可能常来。

二是起连词作用,相当于whenever,意为“每当”。

如:

As often as I tried to ring him, the line was engaged. 

每次我给他打电话都占线。

注意习语as often as not(通常,常常),也可说成more often than not。

如:

When it’s foggy, the trains are late as often as not. 

雾大时,火车往往晚点。

often后面加动词原形吗?

often后用动词一般使用一般现在时态。

often前的主语是复数形式,后面的动词使用原型;often前的主语是单三形式,后面的动词变成相应的单三形式。 另外当often前面的主语是I或者We时,后面的动词为动词原形。

如:

They often go to work by bus.

他们经常乘公交去上班。

He often goes to school by bike.

他常骑自行车上学。

often和usually的区别:

1、经常的频度不同:

usually通常,通例地,指习惯性动作,频度较often大。

2、习惯侧重不同:

often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。

常见的频度副词的区别:

always、usually、often、sometimes、seldom和never都是用来表示时间的频度副词,但它们所表示的动作频率不同。

通常说来,always表示100%,usually表示80%,often表示60%,sometimes表示40%,seldom表示20%,never表示0%。

1、always是频度最高的词,表示动作的重复,状态的继续,中间没有间断。 意为“总是、一直”,其反义词是never。

当它与现在进行时连用时,常译作“老是”,“总是”,带有赞扬、厌烦、不满等感情色彩。

如:

The sun always rises in the east and sets in the west. 

太阳一直东升西落。

She is always coming late. 

她老是迟到。

2、usually意为“通常”,表示通常如此,很少例外,频度仅次于always,反义词为unusually。

如:

What do you usually do on Sundays?

你星期天通常干什么?

I usually got up at six in the morning last term. 

上学期我通常在早上六点钟起床。

3、often意为“经常、常常”,不如usually那么频繁,表示动作重复,中间有间断,反义词为seldom。

如:

They often go for a walk after supper.

晚饭后他们经常去散步。

My parents often take me to the zoo on weekends.

我父母常常在周末带我去动物园。

4、sometimes意为“有时、不时”,表示动作偶尔发生,中间常有间断,频率比often低。

如:

Sometimes they play football on Saturday afternoon. 

=They sometimes play football on Saturday afternoon. 

=They play football on Saturday afternoon sometimes. 

他们有时在星期六下午踢足球。

5、seldom意为“很少;不常”,频度较低。

如:

We seldom go to school bus,We usually go there by bike. 

我们很少乘车去上学,我们通常是骑车去。

He seldom has lunch at home.

他很少在家吃午饭。

6、never意为“从来不、未曾”,频度为零。

如:

The twins have never been to the Great Wall.

这对双胞胎从没有去过长城。
