一個句子的動詞采用什么時態(tài),并不由never來決定.它取決于
所要表述的動作發(fā)生的時間,下面舉幾個例子,你可以看出,雖然都有never,但時態(tài)不同.
I have never been there.
我從未到過那里.
He answered never a word.
他一句話也不回答.
That will never do.
那決不行.
所以要選擇什么時態(tài),和never并沒有什么必然的因果關(guān)系,注意力不要放在never上,按照動詞時態(tài)本身的規(guī)則進(jìn)行.
■never的位置
Tom never went to see his wife.．(在行為動詞之前)
Tom has never been to China.．（在第一個助動詞后）
Tom is never late for school.在系動詞后）
屬于這一類的副詞還有often,sometimes,always,usually,already,nearly,almost等.often被quite或very修飾時可放于首位或末位.如：we don't fight very often.
