  What is the correct position in a sentence of the word “also”?

  "also"这个词在句子中正确的位置在哪儿?

  One of the most common mistakes associated with word order is the tendency to put adverbs in the wrong place. This particularly applies to the word “also”, but other adverbs are commonly misplaced too.

  单词顺序最常见的错误之一是把副词放在错误的位置。这个问题对”also”特别常见,不过其他副词也会被放错地方。

  Consider the following examples with “also”:

  思考一下下面几个有”also”的例子:

  WRONG

  错误用法

  We included also the information that the holiday year starts on 1 January.

  我们也包含了从1月1日开始的假日信息。

  RIGHT

  正确用法

  We also included the information that the holiday year starts on 1 January.

  我们也包含了从1月1日开始的假日信息。

  WRONG

  错误用法

  The rules set out above apply also to the Confidential Information.

  以上规则也适用于保密信息。

  RIGHT

  正确用法

  The rules set out above also apply to the Confidential Information.

  以上规则也适用于保密信息。

  As these examples show, “also” should go between the subject and the verb, NOT after the verb. The next examples – with other adverbs – follow the same pattern:

  像上面的这些例句一样,“also”应该位于主语和动词之间,而不是动词之后。下面的几个例句——句中有其他副词——也遵照相同的准则。

  WRONG

  错误用法

  We have only time to finish the first part of the project by the deadline.

  我们只能在最后期限前完成项目的第一部分。

  RIGHT

  正确用法

  We only have time to finish the first part of the project by the deadline.

  我们只能在最后期限前完成项目的第一部分。

  WRONG

  错误用法

  Who has usually access to classified information?

  谁经常能看到保密信息?

  RIGHT

  正确用法

  Who usually has access to classified information?

  谁经常能看到保密信息?

  There is, of course, an exception to this rule. When the verb is “to be” the adverb usually goes after the verb:

  当然这个规则是有例外的。当动词为”to be”时,副词经常出现在动词后面:

  She is also an experienced adviser on mergers and acquisitions.

  她在兼并收购方面也是一位经验丰富的顾问。

  The client is often unable to sign documents at short notice due to extensive foreign travel.

  由于大量出差,这位客户经常不能一接到通知就签合同。

  When a sentence has an auxiliary verb and a main verb, it is usual to put adverbs between them. For example:

  当句子中有一个辅助动词和一个主要动词,副词经常被放在两个动词之间。比如说:

  We have finally completed the project.

  我们终于完成了这个项目。

  Here “have” is the auxiliary verb and “completed” is the main verb; “have completed” is the present perfect tense.

  在这里”have”是辅助动词而“completed”是主要动词,“have completed”是现在完成时。

  More examples:

  更多例句:

  We have already heard about the outcome.

  我们已经听说了结果。

  The firm has frequently been praised for its commercial approach to problem solving.

  这家公司经常因为其解决问题的商业方法受到表彰。
