【用法归纳】辨析how often, how soon, how long与how far(2010年山西24题考查)
how often“多久一次”,常用于对often/always/usually/sometimes/never/hardly (ever)/three times a day/once a week/every day等表示“频度”的副词或短语进行提问,表示“多长时间一次”。如:
—How often do you go hiking with Pat?你每隔多久和Pat去远足一次呢?
—Once a week. 每周一次。
注意:how many times 意为“几次”,仅仅用于询问次数,其答语常用twice, three times等。如:
—How many times did you go to Beijing? 你去过北京几次?
—Only once. 仅一次。
