多个形容词同时一个名词时,多用下列顺序:性质+大小+形状+新旧+颜色,有时也要看与名词的密切关系,越密切越靠近名词。多个词同时作前置定语时的一般排列规律是:代词性定语+冠词/指/物主/所有格+数词(先序后基)+形容词+国籍/材料/用途形容词或名词或动名词+被修饰的名词。例如:a charming small round old brown French oak writing table.

1.形容词和副词比较级和最高级前的冠词用法:形容词最高级前须加the,副词最高级前都可以。做表语的形容词前如果没有比较范围和比较对象也可省去the,比较级在特指意义时须加the,泛指时可数单数须加a/an.Most + 原级形容词的结构中,前面用不定冠词a,an或无冠词时,并非是最高级意思,most意思为“very(非常)”。
2.形容词比较级的倍数表达方式:比较级修饰词+ as + adj./adV.十as和比较级修饰词+ as + many/much+ n.+ as.在“as...as”结构中,第一个as是副词,修饰形容词或副词,强调程度。当某些副词如so,as,too,how等用来修饰名词前的形容词时;不定冠词放在该形容词之后,名词之前。后一个as引导比较状语从句。表示倍数的三个句 型是:
(1)… times as + 形容词原级 + as…例如:
This table is three times as big as that one.
(2)… times +性质名词 + of … 例如:
This table is three times bigger than that one.
3.比较级前可以用 even, still,a bit /little,much, a lot, far, by far, no, any等修饰,表示程度。最高级前可以有序数词,by far, nearly, almost, by no means, not really ,not quite, nothing like等来修饰。例如:
—Is your father any better? 你父亲好些了吗?
—Yes,much better.是的,好多了。
I’d like to buy the second most expensive laptop.

形容词副词比较的对象应该相同但不能相互包容。常用以下结构形式:
比较级 + than +any other + 单数名词;比较级 + than + anyone else;比较级 + than +any of the other +复数名词。
例如:
China is larger than any other country in Asia /all the other countries in Asia.
The weather here is colder than that of Huanggang.
