咱们今天要聊的,是一个听起来有点"头疼"的英语语法问题——时间状语的位置。你可能不知道,一个小小的"last night"放错位置,就能让整句话听起来怪怪的!
我昨晚做了场恶梦。
✘ 误 例 I last night had a nightmare.
简 析 时间状语通常放在句尾,若需强调则放句首。地点状语通常在时间状语之前,置于句尾。
✔ 正确表达 I had a nightmare last night.
▍知识点1:时间状语的基本位置规则时间状语通常放在句尾! 这是英语中的一条基本规则。简单来说,就是把时间信息放在句子的末尾。
正确例子:
I had a nightmare last night. (我昨晚做了场恶梦)
She will arrive tomorrow. (她明天会到达)
为什么会有这样的规则呢? 这其实和英语的语序习惯有关。英语通常会把时间、地点等状语放在句子的后半部分,这样听起来更自然。
▍知识点2:强调时间状语时的位置虽然时间状语通常放在句尾,但如果想强调时间,就可以把时间状语放在句首!
强调时间的例子:
Last night, I had a nightmare. (昨晚,我做了场恶梦)
Tomorrow, she will arrive. (明天,她会到达)
注意: 放在句首的时间状语通常需要用逗号和主句分隔开。
▍知识点3:时间状语与地点状语的顺序当一个句子中同时有时间状语和地点状语时,地点状语通常在时间状语之前,都放在句尾。
正确顺序的例子:
I met my friend at the café yesterday. (昨天我在咖啡馆见了我的朋友)
She will give a speech in the hall tomorrow. (明天她将在大厅发表演讲)
小技巧: 记住"地点在前,时间在后"的口诀,就不容易搞错顺序了!
▍知识点4:不同时间状语的用法举例让我们通过一些例子来巩固时间状语的位置规则:
① I will meet my friend at the coffee house tomorrow afternoon.明天下午我要去咖啡馆会会朋友。
② We made friends with each other when taking a camping trip last year.
去年露营度假,我们结识了对方。
③ Mary's wedding was held at the church yesterday morning.

④ On May 4th, the whole school celebrated the 50th anniversary of the great school.

⑤ Next Monday the graduation ceremony is to be held on the sports ground.

⑥ I saw him in the library only five minutes ago.
五分钟前我还在图书馆看见他。▍知识点5:常见错误分析错误类型1:时间状语放在动词前面

错误类型2:时间状语和地点状语顺序颠倒
