3 Adverb: types
Типы наречий и их позиции в предложении↑ AdverbНаречия могут относиться к различным членам предложения и к предложению целиком. Если наречие характеризует конкретный член предложения, то оно обычно стоит непосредственно перед этим членом предложения. Если наречие характеризует действие в целом, то оно может занимать три основных позиции: начальную, среднюю и конечную (подробнее об этих позициях см. Adverbial: position). Выбор из трех позиций зависит, как правило, от типа наречия.1) Наречия образа действия. (Примеры: well, badly, slowly, happily, curiously...)."Perhaps," he remarked quietly, "you are already married?". — "Может быть", - сказал он тихо, - "вы уже замужем?".
б) иногда (особенно если требуется специальное выделение) употребляются в средней позиции. При пассивной форме глагола (Passive) также часто встречаются в средней позиции.No answer was given, but the Master loudly and angrily repeated, "Are you the author of this book?". — Ответа не было, но Мастер громко и сердито повторил: "Вы - автор этой книги?"
Her books are always well written. — Ее книги всегда хорошо написаны.
2) Наречия места и направления. (Примеры: upstairs, around, abroad, backwards, underneath...).а) обычно употребляются в конце.What made you run away? — Почему ты убежал?
it was snowing heavily. — На улице шел сильный снег.в) наречия here и there обычно встречаются в начальной позиции. С глаголами be, come, go при этих наречиях употребляется обратный порядок слов (Inversion), если подлежащее - не местоимение.comes the sun. — Вот восходит солнце.goes. — Вон он идет.3) Временные наречия. (Примеры: today, afterwards, already, weekly, soon...).Are things just as you left them yesterday? — Все ли так, как ты оставил вчера?
б) если наречие не находится в основном фокусе внимания, то оно может стоять в начале предложенияhe rubbed his fingers slowly together. — Потом он стал медленно потирать пальцы друг о друга.в) наречия finally, eventually, already, soon, last могут также употребляться в средней позицииShe seemed to hesitate over something, and finally determined to say it. — Она, казалось, колебалась некоторое время, и наконец решилась что-то сказать.
4) Наречия, называющие частоту действия. (Примеры: always, usually, normally, often, ever, seldom...).а) обычно в средней позиции.Sometimes in winter the temperature is below zero, and in summer it often rises to one hundred degrees. — Иногда зимой температура опукается ниже нуля, а летом часто доходит до ста градусов.
б) usually, normally, frequently, sometimes, occasionally могут встречаться в начале или конце предложения. Always, ever, rarely, seldom, never в таких позициях не встречаются., a cow, if not a herd of cattle was taken along with the family. — Довольно часто семья брала с собой корову, а то и целое стадо скота.This doubleness may easily make us poor neighbors and friends sometimes. — Эта двойственность иногда делает нас плохими соседями и друзьями.
look in the mirror before starting to drive. — прежде чем стартовать, всегда смотри в зеркало.5) Наречия, выражающие степень законченности действия. (Примеры: completely, practically, almost, hardly, more or less, kind of...). Обычно употребляются в средней позиции.I'm completely confident that I'll be exonerated and cleared. — Я совершенно уверен в том, что буду оправдан.
6) Наречия, выражающие степень уверенности. (Примеры: certainly, definitely, probably, obviously...).а) обычно в средней позиции.He's obviously in love with Catherine, who flirts with him but is completely devoted to Jack. — Он очевидно влюблен в Кэтрин, которая, хотя и кокетничает с ним, но безраздельно преданна Джеку.
б) maybe, perhaps употребляются в начальной позиции.he is already back. — Может быть, он уже вернулся.7) Фокусные наречия. (Примеры: just, even, only, really, simply, merely...). Наречия, "фокусирующие" внимание слушателя на характеризуемом ими слове. Обычно употребляются в средней позиции. Фокусное наречие часто характеризует не все действие, а конкретный член предложения; в этом случае оно находится перед этим членом предложения.Oh, if you only knew how happy your letters have made me! — Если бы ты только знал, каким счастьем были для меня твои письма!
But I will charge you only twenty-five cents for the last lesson. ( only относится к twenty-five cents). — За последний урок я возьму с тебя всего двадцать пять центов.
