程度副词用法：
1、程度副词主要用于修饰形容词和副词,有的还可修饰比较级(如much, rather 等)和最高级(如quite, much, almost 等)。如：
Houses are much more expensive these days. 如今的房价贵多了。
This is quite [much] the most expensive radio here. 这是这里最贵的收音机。
【说明】quite 有时也修饰比较级,但只用于quite better(身体康复)这一表达。
2、有的程度副词(如quite, rather, almost等)可修饰动词,但有的(如fairly, pretty, very等)则不能修饰动词。如:
I quite agree with you. 我完全同意你的意见。(不用fairly, pretty, very)
We rather like the film. 我们很喜欢这部电影。(不用fairly, pretty, very)
3、个别的程度副词(主要是quite和rather)还可修饰名词(注意词序)。如:
It’s quite [rather] a good idea. / It’s a quite [rather] good idea. 那可真是个好主意。
若此结构中没有形容词,则 quite 和 rather 则只能放在冠词之前。如:
It was quite [rather] a success. 那事相当成功。
