地点副词有时也被称为空间副词,通过告诉我们事情发生的地点来改变或限定句子意义的副词被定义为地点副词。一些教师把这些词或短语称为空间副词。不管它们叫什么,这些副词总是回答一个重要的问题:在哪里?它有助于解释动作发生的地点。地点副词与句子中动词的动作相关联,为方向、距离和位置提供上下文:东南、各处、上、左、近、后、内、周围。这些术语通常不以-ly结尾。为了便于辨认,下面句子中的地点副词都用粗体表示。
方向
New York is located north of Philadelphia.
They traveled down the mountainside.
First, I looked here, and then I looked there, but I can’t find them anywhere.
注意,here and there常用于句首表示强调或感叹。
Here comes the sun.
There is love in the air.
Here you are!
很多时候,地点副词也可以用作介词。区别在于,当这个短语用作副词时,它是修饰动词;当它用作介词时,后面总是跟名词。
New York is located north of Philadelphia -> New York is on the map.
They travelled down river -> They travelled in the first compartment.
That puppy was walking around by itself-> We put a collar around its neck.

此外,一些位置副词还会指向一个移动的方向。这些通常以-ward或-ward结尾。
