Conjunctive Adverb
连接性副词

A conjunctive adverb is a type of adverb that joins two independent sentences or clauses of any kind. This type of adverb is used to connect two parts into one longer sentence. These parts can be whole sentences that need to be connected into one longer sentence or smaller clauses that need to be connected as well. Adverbs usually modify one verb, but conjunctive adverbs modify entire sentences because they connect larger parts than just one word. Conjunctive adverbs are used to join together parts in order to form a larger thought. This means that the final sentence explains more than the two smaller ones would if they were still divided.
连词副词是连接两个独立的句子或任何类型的从句的副词。这类副词用来把两部分连成一个较长的句子。这些部分可以是需要连成一个较长句子的完整句子,也可以是需要连成一个较小句子的小句子。副词通常修饰一个动词,而连词副词修饰整个句子是因为它们连接的部分比一个词大。连词副词是用来连接各部分,以便形成一个更大的思想。这意味着,如果两个较小的句子仍然是分开的,那么最后一句解释的就比这两个小句子解释的要多。

Conjunctive adverbs serve different functions, such as:
连词副词有不同的功能,例如:

addition, comparison, concession, contrast, emphasis, summarize, illustrate a point, or signify time.
添加、比较、让步、对比、强调、总结、说明某一点或表示时间。

Conjunctive adverbs are used to connect ideas, and to form larger thoughts with longer sentences. These sentences are divided by a semicolon (;).
连词副词用来连接思想,并用较长的句子形成较大的思想。这些句子用分号(;)分隔。

Here are some notable examples:
以下是一些值得注意的例子:

I wanted to go have ice cream after work; however, my friend wanted something else.
下班后我想去吃冰激凌,但是我的朋友想要别的东西。

He had studies all day and night; nevertheless, it wasn’t enough to pass the test.
他整日整夜地学习,然而,这还不足以通过考试。

她正从朋友家开车回家;与此同时,她丈夫正忙着给她准备一个惊喜。

Adverb Clause
副词从句

Usually, an adverb is just one word which modifies or describes, a verb. An adverb clause, on the other hand, is an entire clause which functions as an adverb. This clause is a group of words, or an entire sentence, which modifies a verb. One adverb adds some detail to the verb. An adverb clause adds more detail to the verb and describes precisely. An adverb clause can answer questions like:
副词通常只是修饰或描述动词的一个词。另一方面,副词从句又是一个充当副词的完整从句。这个从句是一组词或一整句话,用来修饰动词。一个副词给动词增加了一些细节。副词从句给动词增加了更多的细节,并且描述得很精确。副词从句可以回答如下问题:

How? What? When? Where? How much? And others.
怎样?什么?什么时候?哪里?多少钱?还有其他。

Like any clause, an adverb clause has to have a subject and predicate in order to be complete. An adverb clause can appear in the beginning, middle, or end of the sentence. The adverb clause is always divided by a comma if it’s in the beginning or middle of the sentence.
与任何从句一样,副词从句必须有主语和谓语才能完整。副词从句可以出现在句子的开头、中间或结尾。副词从句如果在句首或句中,总是用逗号分隔。

Since I work from home, I don’t have to eat in restaurants often.
因为我在家工作,所以不必经常去餐馆吃饭。

The adverb phrase is in the first sentence. The subject is “I” and the predicate “work,” so the clause is complete. This adverb clause answers the question: where?
副词短语在第一句中。主语是“I”,谓语是“work”,所以从句是完整的。这个副词从句回答了一个问题:在哪里?

Whether you like it or not, you have to pay taxes.
不管你喜不喜欢,你都得交税。

Here the subject is “you” and the predicate is “like it or not.” There are different ways to form an adverb clause. This adverb clause answers the questions: how? and why?
这里的主语是“你”,谓语是“喜不喜欢”。副词从句的构成方式有很多种。这个副词从句回答的问题是:怎么做?为什么呢?

Whales, although they are large, don’t eat anything but plankton.
鲸鱼虽然很大,但只吃浮游生物。

This adverb phrase is in the middle of the sentence, and it’s divided by commas. The subject is “they” and the predicate is “are large.” This adverb clause answers the question: how? (big are they / do they look)
这个副词短语在句子的中间,用逗号隔开。主语是“他们”,谓语是“很大”,这个副词从句回答了一个问题:怎么做?(他们看起来很大吗)

Because he missed the first bus he ran like his life depended on it.
因为他错过了第一班车,所以他跑得像命悬一线似的。

Since the adverb phrase is at the end of the sentence is does not always need to be divided with a comma. The subject is “he” and the predicate “ran.” This adverb clause answers the questions: how? and why?
因为副词短语是在句子的末尾,所以不一定要用逗号分隔。主语是“他”,谓语是“然”,这个副词从句回答的问题是:怎么做?为什么呢?

I’m going to look for a new job when I get back from my trip.
我旅行回来后要找一份新工作。

Here the subject is “I” and the predicate is “get back.” This adverb clause answers the question: when?
这里的主语是“I”,谓语是“get back”。这个副词从句回答了这个问题:什么时候?

Adverb Phrase
副词短语

An adverb phrase is a group of words that function as an adverb. Unlike the adverb clause, an adverb phrase does not need a subject and predicate. An adverb phrase is two or more words that modify the verb. Adverb phrases are used to describe the verb in more detail than just one adverb would. Since they are composed of more than one word they can answer a different set of questions. Adverb phrases often answer the questions:
副词短语是一组起副词作用的词。与副词从句不同,副词短语不需要主语和谓语。副词短语是修饰动词的两个或多个词。副词短语比一个副词更详细地描述动词。因为它们由多个单词组成,所以它们可以回答一组不同的问题。副词短语通常回答下列问题:

How? Where? Why? and When?
怎样?哪里?为什么?什么时候?

These questions need more than one adverb to be answered completely. An adverb phrase can appear anywhere in the sentence, and they don’t need to be divided by commas.
这些问题需要不止一个副词才能完全回答。副词短语可以出现在句子的任何地方,不需要用逗号分隔。

They are, however, mostly at the end of the sentence, and sometimes the beginning.
然而,它们大多在句子的结尾,有时是开头。

Adverb Placement
地点副词

Using adverbs in a sentence is quite flexible, still it is not entirely our choice where we place them; there are some general rules that we should follow.
在句子中使用副词是很灵活的,但我们把它们放在哪里并不完全是我们的选择;还有一些我们应该遵循的一般规则。

For example, adverbs are not usually put between a verb and its object. The typical word order is this:
例如,副词通常不放在动词和宾语之间。典型的词序是:

adverb + verb + object: We often visit museums.
副词+动词+宾语:我们经常参观博物馆。

verb + object + adverb: She speaks English well.
动词+宾语+副词:她英语说得很好。

In the verb + preposition + object structure the adverb can go either before the preposition or after the object:
在动词+介词+宾语结构中,副词可以在介词之前或宾语之后:

She looked at me suspiciously./She looked suspiciously at me.
她怀疑地看着我。/她怀疑地看着我。

But if the object contains several words, the adverb goes before the preposition:
但如果宾语包含几个词,副词在介词之前:

She looked suspiciously at everybody in the room.
她怀疑地看着房间里的每个人。

Connecting adverbs (which join clauses, e.g. then, next, besides, still, anyway, suddenly, however, consequently) and comment adverbs (e.g. fortunately, surprisingly) can go in front position:
连接副词(连接从句,例如then,next,adde,still,anyway,summent,however,resulture)和注释副词(例如幸运的是,出人意料的是)可以放在前面:

However, the plan wasn’t fully discussed./He worked until six o’clock. Then he left the office./Next, I’m going to speak about the advantages of the plan./Suddenly there was a loud noise./Fortunately, we could take a bus to the village.
然而,这个计划没有得到充分讨论。/他一直工作到六点钟。然后他离开了办公室。/接下来,我要谈谈这个计划的好处。/突然有一声巨响。/幸运的是,我们可以坐公共汽车去村子。

Adverbs of indefinite frequency (e.g. always, often, usually, rarely, sometimes, never, normally, generally, occasionally) and adverbs of certainty (e.g. surely, definitely, certainly, probably, perhaps) usually go in mid-position:
频率不定的副词(例如总是,经常,通常,很少,有时,从不,通常,一般,偶尔)和确定副词(例如肯定,肯定,肯定,可能,也许)通常处于中间位置:

My father often travels to France./We rarely go out on Mondays./Her brother has never flown an airplane./I’ve definitely decided to leave this town./She will probably be absent at the meeting./The party has obviously been cancelled.
我父亲经常去法国旅行。/我们很少在星期一出去。/她哥哥从来没有坐过飞机。/我已经决定离开这个镇。/她可能会缺席会议。/聚会显然取消了。

Adverbs of indefinite frequency can also go in end position if they are the main focus of the message (but mid-position is more typical):
频率不定的副词如果是信息的主要焦点,也可以在结尾位置(但中间位置更典型):

We see our cousins quite often./She is very nervous sometimes./They eat out occasionally.
我们经常见到我们的表亲。/她有时很紧张。/他们偶尔出去吃饭。

Adverbs of certainty like maybe and perhaps typically take front position:
确定性副词,例如may,也许,通常放在前面:

Perhaps they can’t find the way to the village./Maybe you’re right, or maybe not.
也许他们找不到去村子的路。/也许你是对的,也许不是。

Adverbs of manner (saying how the action happens), place (where) and time (when) most often go in end position:
方式副词(表示动作如何发生)、地点(地点)和时间(时间)最常出现在结束位置:

The secretary read the letter slowly./He answered all the questions correctly./My sister is sleeping in her room upstairs./Did you phone her last night?/We arrived at the station at ten.
秘书慢慢地读了信。/他答对了所有的问题。/我妹妹睡在楼上的房间里。/你昨晚给她打电话了吗?/我们十点钟到达车站。

Time adverbs (especially the ones that are frequently used like tomorrow, yesterday, this month, every week, soon, etc.) can also go in front position, especially if the adverb is not the main focus of the sentence:
时间副词(特别是常用的如明天、昨天、本月、每周、不久等)也可以放在前面,特别是副词不是句子的主要焦点时:

Tomorrow we’ve got a meeting with the general manager./This week I’m staying with my uncle in the country./Soon you’ll see a church, take the second street behind it.
明天我们要和总经理开会。/这周我要和我叔叔住在乡下。/很快你就会看到一个教堂,走它后面的第二条街。

Place adverbs most often go in end position, but front position is also possible (though not very typical):
位置副词最常出现在结尾位置,但也可能出现在前面位置(虽然不是很典型):

At the end of the corridor there was a staircase./In this town they don’t have too many restaurants./Here we can stop.
在走廊的尽头有一个楼梯。/在这个镇上,他们没有太多的餐馆。/在这里我们可以停下来。

Adverbs in -ly can also go in mid-position:
ly副词也可以位于中间位置:

火车慢慢地过了桥。/他愤怒地对门卫喊道。/他们可能要迟到了。/她突然跑出房间。/你能等一下吗?

Emphasizing adverbs (e.g. very, extremely, terribly, just, almost, really, right) go directly before the words that they emphasise:[/en
强调副词(例如非常、非常、非常、非常、非常、非常、几乎、非常、正确)直接出现在强调的词之前:

[en]I knew she played the piano very well./We were extremely annoyed with his manners./I’m terribly sorry about last night./Let’s meet in front of the cinema just before seven./He kicked the ball almost over the building./I’m really sleepy now./The police officer walked right past us.

我知道她弹钢琴弹得很好。/我们对他的举止非常恼火。/我对昨晚的事感到非常抱歉。/我们七点前在电影院前碰头。/他把球踢过了大楼。/我现在真的很困。/警察从我们身边走过。

Please note that certain adverbs used at different places of the sentence can substantially change the meaning:
请注意,在句子的不同位置使用的某些副词会实质性地改变句子的意义:

Only I have fish and chips; nobody else has it./I only have fish and chips; I don’t have a drink./I have only fish and chips; I don’t have anything else./I have fish and chips only; I don’t have rice and peas.
只有我有鱼和薯条,其他人没有。/我只有鱼和薯条,我没有饮料。/我只有鱼和薯条,我没有其他东西。/我只有鱼和薯条,我没有米饭和豌豆。

In general, if there are more than one possibilities of placing an adverb in a sentence, you should always be aware of the possible changes in meaning:
一般来说,如果一个句子中有多个副词的可能性,你应该时刻注意可能的意义变化:

They secretly decided to leave the town. – Their decision was secret./They decided to leave the town secretly. – Their departure was to be secret.
他们秘密地决定离开这个城镇。–他们的决定是秘密的。/他们决定秘密离开小镇。他们的离开是秘密的。

Where is the position of an adverb in question form and in negative form?
副词在疑问句和否定句中的位置在哪里?

I don’t clear the position of adverb of frequency-place in a sentence. I only know form
我不清楚频率副词在句子中的位置。我只知道形式

Subject +adverb + verb +object
主语+副词+动词+宾语

Ex: I always get up late.
例:我总是起得很晚。

Subject + verbe+ adverb +object
主语+动词+副词+宾语

Ex: He is usually happy.
他通常很快乐。

But, I don’t clear the place adverb. Where is the position of an adverb. In question form and In negative form.
但是,我不清楚这个地方副词。副词的位置在哪里。在疑问句和否定句中。

So, you go it write in positive sentences! Well done!
所以,你要用积极的句子去写!做得好!

Now, let’s take a look at negative and questions:
现在,让我们来看看负面因素和问题:

I don’t always get up late. He isn’t usually happy.
我不总是起得很晚。他通常不快乐。

So, as you can see, in the negative sentences the adverb of frequency comes right after the negative part (don’t/doesn’t/isn’t/aren’t)
所以,正如你所看到的,在否定句中,频率副词紧跟在否定部分之后(不要/不要/不是/不是/不是)

Now, questions:
