Errors in the Use of adverb

副词的误用

  别(不要)

  do not

  Example

  Wrong:别说话吧,广播开始了。

  Right:别说话了,广播开始了。

  “别”means to stop someboby from doing something. The interjection “吧”is improper here. One should use the interjection “了”with“别”to stop an action that has already taken place.

  Example

  Wrong:时间不早了,大家别再讨论。

  Right:时间太早了,大家别在讨论了

  When the verbal predicate is preceded by “别”in combination with the adverb“再”which denotes continuity,“了”is usually required at the end of the sentence.
