Errors in the Use of adverb

副词的误用

常常

　　often

　　Example

　　Wrong：以前常常我去友谊商店买东西。

　　Right：以前我常常去友谊商店买东西。

　　In Chinese,“常常”can not occur before the subject.One should put it between the subject“我”and the predicate verb“去”.

　　Example

　　Wrong：现在我们跟中国同学常常说汉语。

　　Right：现在我们常常跟中国同学说汉语。

　　The verbal predicate is preceded by the prepositional phrase“跟中国同学”which serves as an adverbial adjunct to introduce the object of the action“说”.The usual order in such a sentence is:the prepositional phrase goes directly before the verb with“常常”coming next.

　　Example

　　Wrong：我不常常跟朋友一起吃饭。

　　Right：我不常跟朋友一起吃饭。

　　The negative form of“常常”is“不常”.The second“常”is to be deleted.

　　Example

　　Wrong：他常常早上在操场跑步了。

　　Right：他常常早上在操场跑步。

　　“常常”indicates that an action occurs frequently in a certain period.The interjection“了”affirms a change of state.These two words do not match semantically.“了”must be deleted.

　　Example

　　Wrong：他希望你以后常常也来玩儿。

　　Right：他希望你以后也常常来玩儿。

　　“常常”and“也”are in the wrong order.When these words are used together,“也”meaning“also”normally goes before“常常”.
