说是名词,其实多是名词词组,总结了一个下午,大致有以下几类,拿来和大家一同分享.
[1]名词或名词词组作状语,一般置于句末。
Wait a minute. 等一会儿。
Come this way! 走这边！
No one really knows why wolves walk (in)single file.排成一列行走。
[2]next/last/this/one/every/each/some/any/all+ day/month/year/Sunday等等可以直接用作状语,有些已经演化成了固定短语如all the year round一年到头 all the time一直
We must get together again some day.将来某天我们必能再相聚.
see you next Monday.
[3]一些由and或or连接所形成的
名词短语如Rain or shine和heart and soul等直接作状语
Rain or shine,we must arrive there on time.
we should serve people heart and soul.
[4]名词词组each/every/the first/time, the instant/instance/moment/minute 所引导的
时间状语从句; the way所直接引导的
方式状语从句 例如:
You see the lightning the instant it happens, but you hear the thunder later.
Every time I saw him, I would like to listen to his songs.
I came to the house the moment he was about to leave.
给你举个例子。He comes in the classroom ，a book in hand。上句中book表示他拿了本书，修饰他进教室时的情况，表示伴随的状况。此时的名词book作状语。
