GRAMMAR REVIEW: Topic: Misplaced Adverbs of Frequency (5-6 minutes) ( 頻度の副詞の誤った配置.) Adverbs of frequency tell how often an action happens. These adverbs might be positioned at the beginning, at the middle, or at the end of the sentence. Examples of these adverbs include: often, never, sometimes, seldom, always, and ever. ( 頻度の副詞はある行動がどれぐらい頻繁に行なわれるかを表しますこの副詞は文頭文中文末のいずれにも置かれる可能性があります頻度の副詞の例としては often never sometimes seldom always そして ever などがあります ) Example: Incorrect: Business person spend holidays usually away from home. ( 誤った例 : ビジネスパーソンたいてい家から離れて休暇を過ごします ) a. If used in the middle of a sentence, correct form should be like below: ( 文中で用いる場合正しい文の形は下記のようになります ) Business person usually spend holidays away from home. ( ビジネスパーソンは家から離れてたいてい休暇を過ごします ) b. If used in the beginning of a sentence, correct form should be: ( 文頭で用いる場合正しい文の形は下記のようになります ) Usually, business person spend holidays away from home. ( たいていビジネスパーソンは家から離れて休暇を過ごします ) Page 3

4 c. If used in the end of a sentence, correct form should be: ( 文末で用いる場合正しい文の形は下記のようになります ) Business person spend holidays away from home usually. ( ビジネスパーソンは家から離れて休暇を過ごすのが通例です ) Remember: Adverbs of frequency can be misplaced easily. The key to avoid this, especially when using them in the middle of a sentence, is to know this general rule: Adverbs of frequency come before the main verb (except the verb to be ). ( 頻度の副詞は誤った配置をされがちですこれを防ぐコツは頻度の副詞は本動詞の前に置かれる (Be 動詞は例外 ) という一般的なルールを特に文中で用いる際に覚えておくことです ) Example: Incorrect: I toured around the city seldom when I m on a business trip. ( 誤った例 ) Correct: I seldom toured around the city when I m on a business trip. ( 正しい例 : 私はビジネス旅行に行く際めったに市内観光をしません ) Comprehension Check: Correct the sentence: ( 文を正しい形に直しましょう ) We sleep while in transit usually because of our hectic schedule. ( 多忙なスケジュールのせいで私たちは移動中はたいてい眠ります ) Page 4
