usually 可用于句首吗

问题描述

usually 一般是放在句子中间，但它可以放在句首吗？比如下面的句子：

Usually John would be late for meetings. But this time, much to my surprise, he arrived on time.

老师答疑

刘老师：

usually用在句首（主语之前）的情况很常见，仅举几例：

Once in a while the wounded soldier would cry with pain, but usually he remained in silence.这位受伤的士兵有时会痛得喊叫，但通常他总是沉默不语。

Usually he catches the Number 11 bus to work.他通常坐11路公共汽车去上班。

I go occasionally when there's a game on near home, but usually I watch it on TV.我家附近有比赛时，偶尔去看。但我通常看电视里的。

Usually he comes back home at 5:30.他一般五点半回家。

罗老师：

没关系，刘老师，语法本来就是很灵活的，别说我作为普通老师，那些语法大师们观点不也很多不一致吗？大家讨论就是。这个回答我也是和单位几个有多年经验的老师讨论的结果，大家也查询了很多资料最后定论的。也欢迎其他老师讨论！
