Re: 副詞的位置(adverbs)

Below are some information I have found.

Where to put adverbs??
許多同學認為副詞只能放在句尾，其實除了句尾之外，副詞還可以放在其他很多的地方；也就是說副詞的位置不同，所強調修飾的字就不同。

〔分別〕想一想，下面的句子意思有差別嗎？

1.
The teacher and students really have good rapport.
( really 用來修飾動詞 have)

The teacher and students have really good rapport.
( really 用來修飾形容詞 good)

2.
Paula really had a great time at her birthday party.
( really 用來修飾動詞 have)

Paula had a really great time at her birthday party.
( really 用來修飾形容詞 great)

3.
Two hundred people died in the earthquake nearly.
＊（不正確）

Nearly two hundred people died in the earthquake.
（nearly 用來修飾 two hundred people）

He nearly died in the earthquake.
（nearly 用來修飾 died）

4.
She takes a bus to school usually. (怪怪的)

She usually takes a bus to school.
（頻率副詞放在修飾動詞之前）

〔說明〕副詞的到底應該要放在哪裡呢？

1. 副詞的正確位置的應該是盡量接近修飾字的位置：如果修飾動詞，則靠近動詞，如修飾形容詞，則靠近形容詞。特別強調的字可放句首，不過並不多見。

2. 頻率副詞如 always、 usually 、often 多用來修飾動詞，應該放在動詞前，be動詞後面，例如 He often comes to school late 以及 He is often late for school。
