【语法专项】
频度副词
(一)频率大小
usually/ sometimes/always/often等词在英文中被称为“频度副词”,是用来表示动作频率的,但程度上有别。常见频度副词按频率大小排列如下:
always(100%)>usually(80%)>often(60%)>sometimes(40%)>seldom(20%)>hardly (10%)>never(0%)
(二)位置
频度副词在句中习惯上位于be动词、助动词等之后,行为动词之前。
1. 在be动词之后。如:She is sometimes very busy. 。
2. 在系动词、助动词或情态动词之后。
如:I will never forget this lesson. He can hardly say a word.
在实义动词之前。
如:We often go there. She never eats junk food.
◆sometimes也可放在句首、句中或句末,often也可放在句末(一般不放在句首)。如:
Sometimes she writes to me. =She writes to me sometimes.
She writes to me often.
◆如果有两个助动词,频度副词通常放在第一个助动词后面。如:
She must sometimes would like some ice cream.
◆ (三)提问 对频度提问用“How often… ”
e.g: ---How often do you exercise --- Never.
【语法专练】1) -- Did you go to the cinema last night
-- Oh, no. I go to the cinema. The tickets, you know, are too expensive.
A. always B. hardly C. usually D. often

注意: 英语中的“一次”为once;“两次”为twice;“三次或三次以上”用“基数词 + times”。 three times 三次;__________________ 五次; many times许多次
3. What’s your favorite program 你最喜欢的节目是什么?
What’s your favorite … 意为“你最喜欢的。。。是什么?”,可与What … do you like best 互换。因此,此句还可转换为“What program do you like best ”。
What’s your favorite animal = ________________________________________ 你最喜爱的动物是什么?
4. Hi, Claire, are you free next week 嗨,克莱尔,你下周有空吗?
free形容词,意为“空闲的;有空的”,反义词为_________。be free意为“有空;闲着”,相当于have time。
I’ll be free next week. = I’ll have time next week.
5. … next week is quite full for me… 我下周会相当忙。。。
full 形容词,此处意为“忙的”。

hardly 副词,意为“几乎不” He hardly works. 他几乎不工作。

Who does chores at home Men women Children
A survey(调查) in the UK shows that in the past, women spent hours a day in doing housework but men did less. But now men do housework as much as women in 40% of the families. And id about in about half of the families, women and men do housework together. The survey also shows that 2/3 of women will be happy when men help with housework, although they often end up doing the work themselves. Some of them said. "Men just don't care as much as women. Maybe they just don't know how to do that."
From another survey in Canada, Many parents make their children do chores around the house. For some families, teaching children what to do and how to do chores is easy. But in other families, getting children to do some housework can be a very big problem. Experts say chores are good for children-----even very young ones.(A)Doing chores can teach children many important skills working together. They also teach children what is fair. The skill and value(价值)from doing chores will be good to children all their lives.
