very做副词时,只修饰形容词或副词,不能修饰动词。
修饰动词必须用a lot , a litte , very much等。
例如: 我非常喜欢英语。
误:I very like English .
正:I like English very much .
布朗太太非常喜欢吃肉。
误:Mrs Brown very likes meat .
正:Mrs Brown likes meat a lot .
虽然说副词是放在形容词之前 动词之后 但是Very的用法比较特殊,他有7忌
一. 忌修饰形容词或副词的比较级。修饰形容词或副词的比较级,应借助于下列程度副词:much(……得多),still(还要,还),even(更),far(……得多,大大……)。例如:
1. 吉姆比凯特高得多。
误:Jim is very taller than Kate .
正:Jim is much taller than Kate .
2. 昨天很热,但今天更热。
误:It was hot yesterday , but it is very hotter today .
正:It was hot yesterday , but it is still/even hotter today .
3. 这部电影比那一部好得多。
误:This film is very better than that one .
正:This film is far better than that one .
二. 忌修饰动词。修饰动词必须用a lot , a litte , very much等。例如:
4. 我非常喜欢英语。
误:I very like English .
正:I like English very much .
5. 布朗太太非常喜欢吃肉。
误:Mrs Brown very likes meat .
正:Mrs Brown likes meat a lot .
三. 忌修饰作表语的形容词alive(有活力的,有生气的),asleep(睡着的),awake(醒着的,警觉的),alone(单独的)等。例如:
6. 我此刻非常清醒。
误:I am very awake at the moment .
正:I am wide awake at the moment .
7. 学生们仍在熟睡。
误:The students are still very asleep .
正:The students are still fast asleep .
8. 昨晚这座房子里就我一人。
误:I was very alone in the house last night .
正:I was all alone in the house last night .
四. 忌用来加强副词或介词短语的语气,加强副词或介词短语的语气一般用right,有时用well。very只能用来加强形容词的语气。例如:
9. 我到处找我的钢笔,可它就在我的口袋里。
误:I looked for my pen here and there , but it was very in my pocket .
正:I looked for my pen here and there , but it was right in my pocket .
10. 这本书非常值得一读。
误:This book is very worth reading .
正:This book is well worth reading .
五. 忌修饰“too+形容词/副词”结构,该结构前常用much , all等来加强语气。例如:
11. 这件衬衫我穿起来太大了。
误:This shirt is very too large for me .
正:This shirt is much too large for me .
12. 我们的英语老师讲话太快了。
误:Our English teacher speaks very too fast .
正:Our English teacher speaks all too fast .
六. 忌替代“so…that…”,“too…to…”结构中的so和too。例如:
13. 他年龄非常小,不能去工作。
误:He is very young to go to work .
正:He is too young to go to work .
14. 我非常累,一点也走不动了。
误:I’m very tired that I can’t walk a bit .
正:I’m so tired that I can’t walk a bit .
七. 忌出现在感叹句中,以免与感叹词重复。例如:
15. 多么糟糕的天气啊!
误:What very bad weather !
正:What bad weather !
16. 同学们干得多么带劲啊 !
误:How very hard the students are working !
正:How hard the students are working !
very 和very much都是副词但它们的用法不同。very 只修饰形容词和副词。放在被修饰词之前。v如 Tom is very tall. / He came home very late.
very much也相当于副词但它修饰动词。如 I like music very much .
所有语法都有特例的。你的I very love you 的说法好像被评为了中国人最常见的英语口语错误。
事实上,在口语中very非常的灵活,教你一招,你在口语中使用very的时候,就去想想中国的非常怎么用。我确实听过不少土生土长的美国人在发邮件的时候说I very like you.希望能帮到你
