形容词不只是用来修饰名词,还可以用来修饰代词.例如:
This is a good pen.( good 修饰名词 pen)
I have something important to tell you.( important 修饰代词
something.
注意:当形容词所修饰的词是由some,any,every,no等构成的合成代词时,
形容词就须放在被修饰的合成代词之后.)
副词不能修饰名词.副词是用来修饰动词,形容词,其他的副词,介词短语以及
全句的,往往是说明时间,地点,原因,程度,方式等等.
例如(在例句中,副词用大写体打出):
1.Don't drive too FAST though you are in a hurry.(即使你是有急事,
车也不能开得太快.fast 修饰动词 drive )
2.We always go swimming HOWEVER cold it is.(无论天气多冷,我们总是去游泳.however 修饰形容词 cold)
3.They run RATHER FAST.(他们跑得相当快.rather 修饰副词fast )
4.My father met an old friend of his on his way HOME.(我父亲在回家的路上遇见了他的一个老朋友.home 修饰介词短语on his way )
5.PERHAPS they will telephone us later.(也许他们晚一点给我们打电话.
副词perhaps 在此是修饰全句.
