用法說明

How is "Normally" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Normally"?

normally do vs normally doing

  • 在標準用法中,normally 作為副詞修飾動詞時,通常後接動詞原形(normally do),描述一般習慣或常態。
  • normally doing 這種形式並不常見,通常僅出現在進行式(如 is normally doing)或動名詞作為名詞使用時(如 Normally working late is tiring)。
  • 要特別注意,normally 後面不會直接接不定詞 to do,例如 would normally to do 是錯誤的。正確說法是 would normally do

對比範例: EN: She normally takes the bus to work. 翻譯: 她通常搭公車上班。

EN:She is normally working at this time of day.

翻譯:她通常這個時間正在工作。

總結建議

建議使用 normally + 動詞原形 來表達一般習慣,並避免使用 normally to do 的結構。

常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Normally"?Which "Normally" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×He is a normally person.

He is a normal person.

「normally」是副詞,用來修飾動詞、形容詞或其他副詞,不能修飾名詞。修飾名詞「person」應使用形容詞「normal」。

×I normally am at home on Sundays.

I am normally at home on Sundays.

副詞「normally」通常放在主要動詞「be」之後。當主要動詞是「be」動詞時,頻率副詞應置於其後。

×I go to the gym normally.

I normally go to the gym. / I usually go to the gym.

「normally」表示「在通常情況下」,常置於句首或主要動詞前。句尾的「normally」可能被誤解為「以正常的方式」。若要表達習慣性動作,使用「usually」或將「normally」置於動詞前更為自然。

×If it normally rains, the game will be canceled.

If it rains, the game will normally be canceled.

在條件句(if-clause)中,通常描述特定條件下的結果,而非條件本身的頻率。因此「normally」應置於主句中,描述在該條件下通常會發生的結果。

×I always normally check my email in the morning.

I normally check my email in the morning.

「always」(總是)和「normally」(通常)在語義上衝突,不能同時使用。應根據實際頻率選擇其一。

×Breathe normally, please. (intending to mean 'breathe regularly')

Breathe normally, please. (This is correct for 'in a normal manner'). For frequency, use a different structure.

「normally」可表示「以正常的方式」(修飾動作方式),也可表示「通常」(表示頻率)。學習者可能混淆這兩種用法。在例句中,根據上下文,它可能被誤解。若要明確表示頻率,應使用「usually」或「typically」。
