Hello, everyone.

大家好。

Welcome to this English course on adverbs.

欢迎来到副词英语课程。

And in this video I'm gonna focus on Adverbs of Time.

在这个视频中，我将重点讨论时间副词。

Now adverbs of time tell us ‘when’ an action happens,

现在，时间副词告诉我们一个动作“何时”发生，

and also ‘how long’ and ‘how often’.

以及“多长时间”和“多久”。

Now these adverbs are extremely common in English,

现在这些副词在英语中非常常见，

so you really need to know about them.

所以你真的需要了解它们。

So let's start learning together.

那么让我们一起开始学习吧。

Let's now take a look at a few example sentences telling us ‘when’ something happened.

现在让我们看一些告诉我们某事“何时”发生的例句。

‘She ate ice cream yesterday.’

“她昨天吃了冰淇淋。”

The adverb in this sentence is… have you noticed?

这句话中的副词是……你注意到了吗？

‘yesterday’ of course.

当然是“昨天”。

And it's an adverb of time.

这是一个时间副词。

When did you eat ice cream? ‘yesterday’

你什么时候吃过冰淇淋？ ‘昨天’

I see you now.

我现在看到你了。

Now where is the adverb in this sentence?

现在这句话中的副词在哪里？

Of course the adverb is ‘now’.

当然，副词是“现在”。

Again it's an adverb of time.

它又是一个时间副词。

When do I see you?

我什么时候见你？

‘now’ ‘I tell him daily.’

“现在”“我每天都告诉他。”

The adverb is ‘daily’.

副词是“每天”。

Again adverb of time.

又是时间副词。

‘We met last year.’

“我们去年见过面。”

Can you see the adverb?

你能看到副词吗？

Of course the adverb in this case is ‘last year’.

当然，这种情况下的副词是“去年”。

Again notion of time.

再次是时间概念。

When did we meet? ‘last year’

我们什么时候认识的？ “去年”

And finally, ‘He will call you later’.

最后，“他稍后会给你打电话”。

The adverb in this sentence is also an adverb of time.

这句话中的副词也是时间副词。

It is ‘later’.

这是‘以后’。

So these are all adverbs of time And as you can see in those examples,

所以这些都是时间副词 正如你在这些例子中看到的，

usually adverbs of time are at the end of the sentence.

通常时间副词位于句子的末尾。

Let's do a bit of pronunciation practice.

让我们做一些发音练习。

Repeat after me, please.

请跟着我重复一遍。

‘She ate ice cream yesterday.’

“她昨天吃了冰淇淋。”

‘I see you now.’

'我现在看到你了。'

‘I tell him daily.’

“我每天都告诉他。”

‘We met last year.’

Good guys.

好人。

Let's move on.

让我们继续。

Let's now move on to example sentences showing us how long something happened.

现在让我们继续使用示例句子来显示某件事发生了多长时间。

These adverbs are also usually placed at the end of the sentence.

这些副词通常也放在句子的末尾。

But let's have a look.

但让我们看一下。

‘She stayed home all day.’

“她整天呆在家里。”

Which part of this sentence is an adverb?

这句话的哪一部分是副词？

Can you see it?

你能看见它吗？

Of course, ‘all day’.

当然是“一整天”。

And it tells us how long she stayed home.

它告诉我们她在家待了多长时间。

‘I studied in Canada for a year now.’

“我现在在加拿大学习了一年。”

In this sentence, ‘for a year’ tells us how long I studied in Canada.

在这句话中，“一年”告诉我们我在加拿大学习了多长时间。

‘He has taught English since 1990.’

“他从 1990 年起就开始教英语。”

How long has he taught English?

他教英语多久了？

Since 1990.

自 1990 年以来。

‘I studied English for four hours.’

“我学了四个小时英语。”

Which pond is the adverb?

副词是哪个池塘？

‘For four hours’ ‘How long did I study English?’

“四个小时”“我学了多长时间英语？”

‘for four hours’ And finally, ‘We have lived in New Zealand

“四个小时”最后，“我们

since 2005.’

自 2005 年以来一直住在新西兰。”

The adverb is of course ‘since 2005’.

副词当然是“since 2005”。

As you can see adverbs are not necessarily just one word.

正如你所看到的，副词不一定只是一个词。

‘since 2005’ - two words.

“自 2005 年以来”——两个词。

‘for four hours’ - three words.

“四个小时”——三个字。

Okay, so they're not just one word sometimes they're more than one.

好吧，所以它们不仅仅是一个词，有时它们不止一个。

Now let's do a bit of pronunciation practice.

现在让我们做一些发音练习。

Repeat after me.

跟着我重复一遍。

‘She stayed home all day.’

“她整天呆在家里。”

‘We have lived in New Zealand since 2005.’

“我们自 2005 年起就住在新西兰。”

Good guys.

好人。

Let's move on.

让我们继续。

Adverbs telling us how often express the frequency of an action.

副词告诉我们表达动作频率的频率。

They're usually placed before the main verb, but after the auxiliary verb,

它们通常放在主要动词之前，但在助动词之后，

such as B may have or must.

例如 B 可能有或必须。

The only exception is if the main verb is the verb to be.

唯一的例外是主要动词是动词 to be。

In which case the adverb goes after the main verb.

在这种情况下，副词位于主要动词之后。

Let's have a look at a few example sentences.

让我们看几个例句。

‘I often eat pizza.’

“我经常吃披萨。”

Can you spot the adverb?

你能看出副词吗？

It's ‘often’.

这是“经常”。

And as you can see, it is placed before the main verb which is ‘eat’.

正如您所看到的，它位于主要动词“吃”之前。

So ‘I often eat’.

所以“我经常吃”。

The second example, ‘He has never drunk Cola.’

第二个例子，“他从来没有喝过可乐。”

In this case, we have an auxiliary verb.

在这种情况下，我们有一个助动词。

The auxiliary verb ‘have’ and the main verb is ‘drunk’.

助动词“有”，主要动词“醉”。

So the adverb is placed between the auxiliary verb and the main verb.

所以副词放在助动词和主动词之间。

‘He has never drunk.’

“他从来没有喝过酒。”

‘You must always brush your teeth.’

“你必须经常刷牙。”

Same applies.

同样适用。

We have an auxiliary verb ‘must’.

我们有一个助动词“必须”。

Okay.

好的。

And we have the main verb ‘brush’, so the adverb goes after the axillary verb,

我们有主要动词“刷子”，所以副词位于辅助动词之后，

but before the main verb.

但在主要动词之前。

‘You must always brush.’

“你必须经常刷牙。”

‘I am seldom late’.

“我很少迟到”。

So the main verb is the verb ‘to be’.

所以主要动词是动词“to be”。

Be careful.

当心。

So in this case the adverb goes after the main verb.

所以在这种情况下，副词位于主要动词之后。

‘I am seldom late’.

“我很少迟到”。

And finally, ‘He rarely lies.’

最后，“他很少说谎。”

The main verb is ‘lies’.

主要动词是“谎言”。

So the adverb goes before the main verb.

所以副词放在主要动词之前。

‘He rarely lies’.

“他很少说谎”。

Okay.

好的。

Let's do a bit of pronunciation practice.

让我们做一些发音练习。

Now repeat after me.

现在跟我重复一遍。

‘I often eat pizza.’

“我经常吃披萨。”

‘He has never drunk Cola.’

“他从来没有喝过可乐。”

‘You must always brush your teeth.’

“你必须经常刷牙。”

‘I am seldom late.’

“我很少迟到。”

‘He rarely lies.’

“他很少说谎。”

Great job guys.

干得好，伙计们。

Let's move on.

让我们继续。

Some adverbs expressing ‘how often’ express the exact number of times that an action happened

一些表达“多久”的副词表达某个动作发生的确切次数，

They're called definite ‘adverbs of frequency’.

它们被称为明确的“频率副词”。

And in this case, they're usually placed at the end of the sentence.

在这种情况下，它们通常放在句子的末尾。

Let's have a look at a few examples.

让我们看几个例子。

‘I visit my dentist yearly.’

“我每年都会去看牙医。”

The adverb is ‘yearly’.

副词是“每年”。

Okay.

好的。

‘Once a year’ and it expresses the exact number of times that I visit my dentist.

“一年一次”，它表达了我去看牙医的确切次数。

It's a definite adverb of frequency, so it's placed at the end of the sentence.

它是一个明确的频率副词，所以放在句末。

Other example, ‘He goes to the gym once a week.’

其他示例，“他每周去一次健身房。”

Again we have a definite adverb of frequency which is ‘once a week’.

我们再次有一个明确的频率副词，即“每周一次”。

‘I work five days a week.’

“我每周工作五天。”

Same thing.

一样。

We have a definite adverb of frequency which is ‘five days a week’

我们有一个明确的频率副词，“一周五天”，

so it's placed at the end of the sentence.

所以它被放在句子的末尾。

And finally, ‘I saw the movie five times.’

最后，“这部电影我看了五遍。”

Again ‘five times’ expresses the exact number of times that I saw the movie.

再次“五次”表达了我观看这部电影的确切次数。

Let's do a bit of pronunciation practice.

让我们做一些发音练习。

Repeat after me.

跟着我重复一遍。

‘I visit my dentist yearly.’

“我每年都会去看牙医。”

‘He goes to the gym once a week.’

‘I work five days a week.’

“我每周工作五天。”

‘I saw the movie five times.’

“这部电影我看了五遍。”

Good.

好的。

Moving on now.

现在继续。

If you want to use more than one adverb of time in a sentence,

如果你想在一个句子中使用多个时间副词，

you should put them in the following order: First, ‘how long?’.

你应该按以下顺序排列它们：第一，“多长时间？”。

Second, ‘how often?’.

第二，“多久一次？”。

And finally, ‘when?’.

最后，“什么时候？”。

Let's take a look at a very good example sentence.

让我们看一个非常好的例句。

‘He taught at the school for ten days every month last year.’

“去年他每个月在学校教书十天。”

Now as you can see, first, we're told ‘how long’ - for ten days.

现在如您所见，首先，我们被告知“多长时间”——十天。

Then, we're told ‘how often’ - every month.

然后，我们被告知“多久一次”——每个月。

And finally, were told ‘when’ exactly - last year.

最后，被告知确切的“时间”——去年。

This is a very good sentence using the different kinds of adverbs of time in the right order,

这是一个非常好的句子，以正确的顺序使用了不同类型的时间副词，

so I hope you can do the same let's practice pronunciation together.

所以我希望你也能这样做，让我们一起练习发音。

Now repeat after me.

现在跟我重复一遍。

所以让我们开始吧。

‘He has been to Canada three times.’

The second example is, ‘Generally I don't like to eat spicy food.’

第二个例子是，“我一般不喜欢吃辛辣的食物。”

The adverb is ‘generally’.

副词是“一般”。 请记住，如果

And remember I told you some adverbs of frequency work well at the beginning of a sentence if

您想强调频率， 我告诉过您一些频率副词在句子开头效果很好

you want to emphasize the frequency, so ‘generally’ is one of them.

，所以“一般”就是其中之一。

Another example would be ‘sometimes’.

另一个例子是“有时”。

Next example.
