修飾動(dòng)詞是副詞的最主要作用之一，此處動(dòng)詞的含義包括謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞、不定式中的動(dòng)詞，被動(dòng)式或進(jìn)行時(shí)中的分詞形式的動(dòng)詞
例如：You can’t possibly arrive there on time. (謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞)
It’s inconvenient to contact him directly. (不定式中的動(dòng)詞)
Her composition is frequently referred to as original. (被動(dòng)式)
改錯(cuò)題中常誤用形容詞修飾動(dòng)詞，要注意識(shí)別
例題：
(1)
In the United States， sleds for recreation were first produced commercial in the 1870’s or thereabouts.
應(yīng)改為：commercially
解釋：形容詞commercial不能修飾謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞produce， 需改為副詞
(2)
According to anthropologists， the earliest ancestors of humans that stood upright resembled chimpanzees ----， with sloping foreheads and protruding brows.
(A) facially
(B) their faces
(C) having facial
(D) they had faces
答案：A
解釋：resemble一詞是本句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞， 已有了賓語(yǔ)chimpanzees， 之后需要的只可能是用來(lái)補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明的非謂語(yǔ)， B、D可先排除; facial是形容詞， 不能作have的賓語(yǔ)， 因此C肯定不對(duì); A是副詞， 恰好修飾動(dòng)詞作狀語(yǔ)
