问题描述
much也可以表示“经常”，如：
He doesn’t get out much. 他不常外出。
We don’t go to the theatre much any more. 我们不再经常去看戏了。
I just haven’t time to go out much. 我只不过是没有时间经常外出而已。
请问这样用的 much 有区别吗？谢谢！
老师答疑
陈老师：
这个问题看似简单，但不好回答。
以下解答是我的个人理解，不一定正确或全面，仅供参考：
much 和 often 都可以表示“经常”，显然 often 属于首选词。另外，从所使用的句型来看，often可以用于肯定句、否定句或疑问句，但much 表示“经常”主要用于否定句或疑问句，一般不用于肯定句。
1. 以下是much的相关用法例句（often比较普遍，不再举例）：
Do you listen to the radio much? 你经常收听广播吗？
It doesn’t rain much in the summertime. 夏季不常下雨。
I don’t ride my motorbike much anymore. 我不再常骑我的摩托车了。
He didn’t get about much after the operation. 手术后他不常外出走动。
2. much可以用于 see much of sb, hear much of sb这类表达，但often不能这样用。如：
We haven’t seen much of you lately. 我们最近不常见到你。
Have you heard much of Polly recently? 你最近常听到波莉的消息吗？
3. much可以修饰系表结构且位于句末，但often一般不这样用。如：
I’m not there much. 我不常去那儿。
He isn’t in the office much. 他不怎么待在办公室。
