語法 Grammar in use
1.副詞
副詞(adverb)這個詞的`本意是補充動詞的意義。這就是許多副詞的作用。它們可以通過修飾動詞告訴我們有關句中某個動作的情況，也就是告訴我們某事是如何、何時、何地等發生或進行的。
副詞可以是單個的詞(如 slowly)或詞組(如 very well)。單一副詞既有以-ly結尾的也有不以-ly結尾的(如 quickly, fast)。
形容詞向副詞的轉換一般遵循3個規則：
(1)在形容詞後面直接加-ly，如：
quick----quickly
hurried----hurriedly
pleasant----pleasantly
warm----warmly
(2)以-y結尾的形容詞，則把-y改成-i，再加-ly，如：
thirsty----thirstily
happy----happily
(3)形容詞與副詞形式相同：
late----late
fast----fast
hard----hard
well----well
2.部分不規則動詞的過去式形式
go----went
see----saw
understand----understood
take----took
read----read
drink----drank
run----ran
know----knew
say----said
put----put
cut----cut
eat----ate
meet----met
come----came
lose----lost
tell----told
speak----spoke
find----found
give----gave
swim----swam
have----had
