mornings,afternoons,evenings,nights等复数名词作状语

复数名词 mornings, afternoons, evenings 等有时可用作状语,但是相应地,nights, days, weeks, months, years 等也可用作状语吗?我的意思是指前面不借助任何介词的情况,如不包括 for weeks, for months 等用作状语的情况。请专家老师分析指导!

▲没错,复数名词mornings,afternoons, evenings等有时可用作状语。如:

He worksafternoons. 我下午工作。

I’m always at home evenings. 我晚上总在家。

Mornings Iusually go for a walk by the river. 早晨我通常在河边散步。

▲但是相应地,nights,days, weeks, months, years等也可用作状语吗?——而且不包括for weeks, for months 等用作状语的情况。我的感觉是比较少见。但其中的nights可以像mornings,afternoons, evenings一样经常用作状语。查《剑桥高级学习词典》,其中列出了nights词条,其解释如下:

adverb at night, especially every night:

Becauseshe's a nurse she often has to work nights.

Ilike to go out nights and sleepduring the day.

▲但是days, weeks,months, years等可以像mornings, afternoons, evenings一样经常用作状语吗?好像比较少见,查了不少词典,收获甚少。但功夫不负苦心人,无意中在Swan的《英语用法指南》中查到这样一句:

Would you rather work nights or days? 你愿意上夜班还是上白班?

显然句中的days与nights均有作状语。至于weeks,months, years等,没有查到相关例句,请其他朋友补充说明。
