1. Something指事物,偶尔也用来指动物;“someone”只能指人。
2. 状语(Adverbials)主要修饰动词,有表示“状态”的,“时间”的,“地点”的等。例如:
(1) The baby cried loudly.(大声地笑)
(2) The thief was severely punished.(严峻地处罚)
(3) I saw a good film show last night.(昨晚看了……)
(4) Why do you come here?(到这儿?)
(1)和(2)的句子可以用“How”发问;(3)用“When”,(4)用“Where”。
此外,表示“程度”的状语可修饰形容词和另一个副词,如:
(5) Singapore is a very clean country。(很干净的)
(6) It was rather cold last night。(相当冷)
(7) Irene spoke quite clearly(相当清楚地)
(8)He answered somewhat nervously(有些紧张地)
