almost的用法

 almost的用法:

almost是常用的程度副词,基本意思是“几乎,差不多”,强调差一点,缺一点。引申还可作“实际〔质〕上”“简直”解。

almost可用于修饰动词、形容词、副词、名词、代词、数词或介词等,有时还可用来代替全句。almost不能与not连用,但可与no, none, nobody, nothing, never等否定词连用,表示“几乎,差不多”。

为了避免意义含混不清或者不合逻辑, almost常常紧接在它所修饰词之前。修饰动词时一般置于主要动词之前,但要放在系动词、助动词和情态动词之后。almost不能置于句末。

almost可用于同级比较。

almost无比较级和最高形形式,不可加very修饰。

almost位置不同,可能引起意义的改变。试比较以下两句:

He almost wept every time he was scolded.每次受责骂时,他几乎都要哭。(实际上他没有哭过)He wept almost every time he was scolded.差不多每次受责骂时,他都要哭。
