副词的构成
从形态上看,大多数副词都是由"形容词+后缀-ly"构成的,例如:slowly,
heavily,
truly,
terribly等。
形容词变副词:
①.在形容词词尾直接加-ly。
如:real-really;
helpful-helpfully;
careful-carefully;
slow-slowly;
quick-quickly;
quiet-quietly
②.以辅音字母加y结尾的形容词要变y为i,然后再加-ly。
如:busy-busily;
angry-angrily;
easy-easily
③.某些以辅音字母加不发音的字母e结尾和以-ue结尾的形容词要先去掉e,然后再加-y或-ly。
如:terrible-terribly;
true-truly;
gentle-gently
注意:
friendly;
motherly;
lovely,weekly,lively等词是形容词而非副词。
④.英语中还有少数与形容词同形的副词,例如:daily,
early,
fast,
hard,
high,
long,
near,
straight,
well等。
