形容词和副词比较级
形容词和副词有三个等级:原级,比较级,最高级
(一)形容词、副词比较级的构成:
1、单音节词和少数双音节词比较级规则变化:
规则 | 原级 | 比较级 |
1.在词尾后直接加-er/est | tall | taller |
2.词尾是e,只加-r/st | nice | nicer |
3.以辅音字母加y结尾的,把y变i再加-er/est | happy | happier |
4.重读闭音节,末尾只有一个辅音字母,双写这个辅音字母,再加-er/est | thin | thinner |
2、其他双音节词或多音节词,在该词前面加-more
beautiful—more beautiful ;difficult—more difficult
3、不规则变化:
good/well | better | best |
bad/badly | worse | worst |
many/much | more | most |
little | less | least |
far | farther/further | farthest/furthest |
(二)使用原级一般有两种情况: 1、当不进行比较时,在程度副词very, so, quite, too等后面的形容词或副词要用原级。例如:This box is too heavy. 这个箱子太重了。She speaks English very well. 她英语讲得很好。 2、在“as…as”或“not as/so…as”结构中,虽有比较的意思,但形容词或副词要用原形。例如:This ruler is as long as that one. 这把尺子和那把尺子一样长。Jim is not as/so tall as Tom. 吉姆不如汤姆高。
(三)比较级:表示两者(人或事物)之间的比较
1、A+形容词比较级+than+ B
Susan is happier than Jane.
His brother is younger than me.
Beijing is more beautiful than Osaka.
(形容词或副词前有much, a lot, a little, far, still, even等词时,要用比较级)
This story is much more interesting than that one. 这个故事比那个有趣的多。
2、在比较级的句子中有“of the two”之类意义的词组时,比较级前要用定冠词the。Bill is the taller of the two boys. 比尔是两个男孩中个子较高的一个。
3、比较级+and+比较级,表示“越来越……”(多音节词要用“more+and+more+原级”)。
He is running faster and faster. 他跑得越来越快。The city is becoming more and more beautiful. 这个城市变得越来越美了。
4、the +比较级,the +比较级结构,表示“越……就越……”
The more I study it, the more I like it.
5、which/who +is +比较级,A or B?”表示“两个人或物中哪一个(谁)较……?”
Who is taller, Jim or Mike? 吉姆和迈克,谁个子较高?
