繼前天講的 形容詞的順序, 今天我們來看英文中副詞的順序
同樣的, 在文法上有所謂的 the royal order of adverbs:
THE ROYAL ORDER OF ADVERBS
Verb Manner Place Frequency Time Purpose
Beth swims enthusiastically in the pool every morning before dawn to keep in shape.
Dad walks impatiently into town every afternoon before supper to get a newspaper.
Tashonda naps in her room every morning before lunch.

In actual practice, of course, it would be highly unusual to have a string of adverbial modifiers beyond two or three (at the most). Because the placement of adverbs is so flexible, one or two of the modifiers would probably move to the beginning of the sentence: “Every afternoon before supper, Dad impatiently walks into town to get a newspaper.” When that happens, the introductory adverbial modifiers are usually set off with a comma.

從上表可以看出, 副詞的排列順序如下:
(1) 情狀: 小心地”, “慢慢地等形容動作的副詞
(2) 地點
(3) 頻率
(4) 時間
(5) 目的
我們最常用到的是時間和地點
所以在最正確的文法裡, 應該是先地點後時間
比如: We had dinner in a French restaurant on Sunday.
再加目的: We had dinner in a French restaurant on Sunday to celebrate my birthday.
若是時間和地點裡又分別有好多層的時候, 記得要從最小的單位排到最大的
比如: The writer is going to be at the Eslite bookstore in the Xinyi District in Taipei at 3:00 PM
on Saturday afternoon on October 15, 2010.
不過, 大家可以去讀一下表格最下面的那幾行小字
裡面有提到, 其實副詞的順序是比形容詞有彈性的
因此大家在看一些老外寫的東西時, 也常會看到有人把時間放在地點之前
甚至把地點或時間挪到句子最前面, 放個逗點, 再接主要的句子
的確, 現在的副詞順序可以依照使用者想要先透露的訊息重要性來排列
如果你認為先講出時間比較重要, 也可以把時間放地點之前
: There’s going to be a concert this Saturday at the National Concert Hall.
不過大家還是應該要知道, 最基本的原則是什麼
先建立起紥實的基本架構, 再去學它的變化型式或開始 自由創作
但所謂的 自由創作還是要有一定的章法
就像音樂家可以自己作曲, 但音符和和絃的道理是不變的
這也就是為什麼在教學時
老師們還是會從最正確的文法規則來下手
