Question

副词修饰动词是放前还是放后?
He could potentially bring in millions of dollars worth of projects.一般副词是放在动词后面,为什么这句话中potentially放在bring之前?

Answer 1

一般放在动词后,如果带宾语,则放在宾语后.
例外：
有时,如果动词后的宾语较长,为了保持句子平衡,一般把副词置于行为动词前
比如此句话的宾语 millions of dollars 还带了个作后置定语的形容词词组 worth of projects,这样宾语就拉得很长了 millions of dollars worth of projects,为了保持句子平衡,potentially便置于短语动词bring in 之前了
