Every day v.s Everyday

先来考考大家

我每天搭捷运上学要写:

I go to school by MRT everyday.

还是

I go to school by MRT every day.

呢?

答案是:I go to school by MRT every day.  答对了吗?

为什么是every day呢?因为在这里要强调每「一」天,所以要把every 跟 day给分开写,词性是(时间)副词。

那么什么时候要用连起来的everyday呢?

every跟day连起来变成一个字的时候,就从副词转为形容词,有日常的、每天的、一如往常的意思。 this is an everyday activities. 这是每天的日常活动。

简而言之:

Everyday是形容词,表示 daily

Every day是时间副词,表达 each day 或是 regularly

到底要写Sometimes? Some time? Sometime? Every day跟Everyday的差别又在哪里呢?易混淆词汇大解析!

根据专家解释:

跟很多复合词一样, everyday 是由经过语言的演变慢慢由两个字合成的形容词.

中古世纪英语会把 today 写成 to day, tomorrow 写成 to morrow,后来英国文豪莎士比亚将其用 hyphen(连字号) 连住, 写成 to-day, to-morrow,后来人们把 hyphen 省去, 就成了今时今日的 today, tomorrow.

了解了吗?

来个小测验吧!

Watering the plants is my ____ duty. 浇花是我每天的责任

I go online _____. 我每天都上网

大家可以一起提供正确答案呦!

 Sometime v.s some time v.s some times v.s sometimes

some 和 time(s) 的排列组合快把小编给逼疯啦! ! !他们到底该个字用在哪个句子中呢?

先来个小测验:

Will the couple meet each other ______ ?

The single mother busy making a living spends _______keeping her children company.

Scientists have been warning the area of risks from tsunami risk _______.

My father will fix the dinner for our family _________.

1. sometime

意思是「在过去或未来没特定的某一时刻」,常与过去简单式或未来简单式合用。例如: Will the couple meet each other sometime ? 刚刚小测验中的句子答案就是sometime,中文是:这对情侣改天会再相遇吗?

又像是:The handsome guy served as the sometime CEO. 这位先生担任前任执行长(过去某时)、I would like to visit England sometime. 我将来想去英国玩(未来某时)

2. some time

作为不可数名词,意思是「没有特定的一段时间、通常指满长的一段时间」,和好一阵子意思相似。上面小测验的例句:The single mother busy making a living spends some time keeping her children company. 这位忙于维持生计的单亲妈妈花一些时间陪伴他的孩子

小补充:some time or other 是固定的副词片语,意思是「迟早;总有一天」意思跟sooner or later相去不远

3. some times

跟前面some times相对来说,是可数名词,意思是「有几次」,也等于several times。刚刚的小测验中的例句:Scientists have been warning the area of risks from tsunami risk some times . 科学家已经有几次警告此地区注意来自海啸的风险。

 4. sometimes

这是大家最常见的!意思是「有时候」,又等于occasionally 、now and then。小测验中的例句:My father will fix the dinner for our family sometimes.我父亲有时候会为家里煮晚餐。 (可能妈妈还是比较常煮,爸爸只是有时候心血来潮啦!)

All Ways V.S Always

这两者大家应该比较不太会搞懂,以字面上的意思来看

All ways 是指所有的方法,all所有的ways方法(直翻)

例句:He tried all ways to fix the car.他试了所有修车的方法

Always 是时间副词,代表的是总是、常常

例句:I will always love you. 我会一直爱着你

Although v.s Though

这两个字也不太算是易混淆单字,因为他们确实有相同用法的时候,也有相同的意思,但还是有些地方不能类比,所以特别需要注意。

而这两个字分别有几个不同的意思,分别是以下

A 虽然

although和though都指「虽然」,用来引出和主要子句意义相对比的子句。

although和though子句可放在主要子句之前或之后:

例句像是:

Although the theme of the movie is death, it does not feel gloomy.

虽然这部电影的主题是死亡,但是看起来一点也不沉闷。

但是!

though前面可加even加强语气,但是although不能这样用

例句像是:

Even though  she is 35, she is still like a little child.

虽然她已经35岁了,还是像个小孩子一样。

B 不过

although和though还有「不过」的意思

例句像是:

He now reads quite well, although he is still behind in math.

他现在阅读能力很好,不过数学成绩还是很差。

C 然而

though也常当作副词,意思是「然而」

例句像是:

I could have asked him to take the books with him; it’s too late now, though.

我本来可以请他把书带走的,不过现在太迟了。
