容易混淆,请举出至少三个实例加以论证。
(记单词,学语法,考试题,一举数的)
(频率由高到低)always> usually > often > sometimes >Seldom > never
通常说来,always表示100%,usually表示80%,often表示60%,sometimes表示40%,seldom表示20%,never表示0%。
另外,我们五下的英语将接触更多的英语语法,请大家上课注意听讲。第一单元,我们将学习频率副词usually, often, sometimes, always.这些词一般用在一般现在时,表反复,经常性的动作和习惯。
always,usually,often,sometimes, seldom和never都是用来表示时间的频度副词,但它们所表示的动作频率不同。(大家用他们造造句)
1. always是频度最高的词,表示动作的重复,状态的继续,中间没有间断。(红华趣解all+ways全部用相同方式)
意为“总是、一直”,其反义词是never。
当它与现在进行时连用时,常译作“老是”,“总是”,带有赞扬、厌烦、不满等感情色彩。
eg ▲ The sun always rises in the east and sets in the west.
太阳一直东升西落。
▲ She is always coming late. (厌烦、不满)
她老是迟到。
2. usually意为“通常”,表示通常如此,很少例外,频度仅次于always,反义词为unusually。(红华妙解:use+u+al+ly,用,all总,通,合起来就是“通常在用”)
eg ▲ What do you usually do on Sundays?
你星期天通常干什么?
▲ I usually got up at six in the morning last term.
上学期我通常在早上六点钟起床。
3. often意为“经常、常常”,不如usually那么频繁,表示动作重复,中间有间断, 反义词为seldom。(红华妙记:of + ten 十天一次)
eg ▲ They often go for a walk after supper.
晚饭后他们经常去散步。
▲ My parents often take me to the zoo on weekends.
我父母常常在周末带我去动物园。
4. sometimes意为“有时、不时”,表示动作偶尔发生,中间常有间断,频率比often低。(红华巧记: some+time+s 有些时候,s复数,几次)
eg ▲ Sometimes they play football on Saturday afternoon.
=They sometimes play football on Saturday afternoon.
=They play football on Saturday afternoon sometimes.
他们有时在星期六下午踢足球。
5. seldom意为“很少;不常”,频度较低。(红华记忆: seld读“少的”,om后缀)
eg ▲ We seldom go to school bus. We usually go there by bike.
我们很少乘车去上学,我们通常是骑车去。
▲ He seldom has lunch at home.
他很少在家吃午饭。
6. never意为“从来不、未曾”,频度为零。(华仔妙解:no+ever 从来没来)
eg ▲ We can say Mr. John Brown or Mr. Brown, but we can never say Mr. John.
我们可以说Mr. John Brown或Mr. Brown,但从来不能说Mr. John。
▲ The twins have never been to the Great Wall.
这对双胞胎从没有去过长城。
注意
一般情况下,这五个词都位于行为动词之前,be动词、助动词或情态动词之后。
sometimes的位置较灵活,可以放在句中,也可以放在句首或句末。
always> usually > often > sometimes >Seldom > never
【附加内容】比较二
always, often, usually, frequently, repeatedly, regularly
always, often, usually, frequently, repeatedly, regularly
这些副词均表示频度。他们之间有什么区别呢?
always →总是,永远。语气最强,指在一切时候,没有例外。
They always make fun of Mr. Smith.
他们总是嘲弄史密斯先生。
usually →通常,通例地,指习惯性动作,频度仅次于always,较often大,偶尔有间
隔。
often →经常,语气弱于always,侧重动作发生的次数具有经常性,具体时间意味不强
He is often late for class.
他上课时常迟到
frequently →时常,经常,与often同义,可通用,但较正式,强调次数频繁。
This question is frequently asked.
这个问题屡次被提出。
repeatedly →屡次,强调次数多,但反复的频率不一定均匀。
Ive told you repeatedly not to do that.
我已再三告诉你不要做那种事。
regularly →用于修饰经常而有规律性的动作。
We meet regularly to discuss business.
我们定期会面讨论事务。

【课堂练习】
1.--What do you usually do on weekends ?
--I sometimes go to the movies.
2.--How often do you watch TV?
--I watch TV every day( once/twice/ three times a week/month/year)
3.--What’s your favorite program?
--It’s Animal World.
语法要点 1.运用wh- words引导的特殊疑问句 What do …? How often …?
2.表示频率的副词及不定代词 all/most/some/none用法
例1 --____ does Wang Lin do his homework at home
-- Five times a week.
A. How soon B. How long
C. How many times D. How often
【解题思路】选D。 how often用来询问某动作发生的频率, 意为“多久(一次)”,通常是对一些表示频率的副词提问,如always,usually,often,sometimes,hardly,ever,never等,也可以对表示多久几次之类的短语提问,如once a week,twice a year,three times a day 等。
How soon一般用在含有将来时态的问句中,意为“过多久”,通常用in+一段时间来回答。
例如:--How soon can you be ready?
--In five minutes.
How long用于对时间段提问,询问某一动作进行多长时间了,意为“多久”。
例如:--How long have you been here, Lily?
--About three months.
How many times用来询问次数的,常对once, twice, three times 等提问。
例如:--How many times have you been to Shanghai?
--Oh, several times.
例2 —He came early this morning, didn’t he?
--Yes, he did. He often ______ to school early.
A. come B. comes C. came D. has come
【解题思路】选B。根据答语的句意可以了解,“他”是经常到校很早,而不是只是今天早上偶然到校早,它表示的是一个经常性的动作。
例3 I watch TV _______. This is my ______ lifestyle.
A. every day, everyday B. everyday, every day
C. every day, every day D. everyday, everyday
【解题思路】选A。every day意为“每天、天天”,在句子中作时间状语。everyday是形容词, 意为”每天的、日常的、平常的”,在句中作定语。
例4 Don’t watch TV too much. It’s ____ your eyes.
A. good for B. bad for C. good to D. bad to
【解题思路】选B。 be good/ bad for… 是“对------有益(害)处”。 be good/bad to…是“对------好(坏)” 相当于be kind to,如They are good to old people. (他们善待老人)。
例5 The old man often takes a walk alone, but _____ with his dog.
A. some times B. sometimes
C. sometime D. some time
sometime“某个时候”“未来某个时候'
sometimes“有时候”“有时” (s 表复数,多,有时候了)
some time“一段时间”“好多时间”。
some times“多次”“许多次”
【解题思路】选B。本题考查的是频率副词sometimes。Some times意为“许多次”;some time意为“好多时间”。
(频率由高到低)always> usually > often > sometimes >Seldom > never
通常说来,always表示100%,usually表示80%,often表示60%,sometimes表示40%,seldom表示20%,never表示0%。

总体来讲,always比often程度更高
always 有“总是”的意思
比如老外讲“我会永远爱你”不是说 "I will love you forever."
而是 "I will always love you."
又例:
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
她永远保护、信任、希望和百折不回。
We should always help each other.
我们应始终互相帮助。
而often程度比之always低些,意思是“时常”,“经常”,表示事情发生的程度,比如
American girls are often very pretty.
美国女孩多很漂亮。
How often do you go there?
你多长时间去一次那里?
Disease often goes with poverty/Disease and poverty often go together.
疾病与贫穷常相伴而生.本回答被网友采纳
