一、比较级应注意的几个问题
1.排斥问题:要避免主语和本身相比,即在同一范围内进行比较时,必须用other或else,将比较的一方排除在外;反之,则不用。
China is larger than any other country in Asia.
(同一范围)中国比亚洲的其他任何国家都大。
China is larger than any country in Africa.
(不同范围)中国比非洲的任何国家都大。
2.替代问题:在比较从句中为了避免重复,我们通常用that(those)或one(ones)来代替前面已出现的名词。若代替不可数名词用that,可数名词复数用those代替。
The weather of this year is better than that of last year.
今年的天气比去年的好。
Necklaces made of glass are far cheaper than those made of diamond.
玻璃项链要比钻石项链便宜很多。
3.倍数问题:倍数词要放在比较级前。
Our room is twice larger than yours.
我们的房间比你们的房间大两倍。

4.最高级比较的范围前面用in还是用of,主要是看是否为同类相比,同类相比用of,不同类相比用in。
Jiang Tao is the tallest of the boys.
江涛在男同学中最高。
Jiang Tao is the tallest in his class.
江涛是全班同学中最高的。
二、多个形容词作定语的顺序
如果有两个或两个以上的形容词来修饰名词,要根据它们与名词的关系的密切程度来确定它们的先后位置,与名词关系越密切的越靠近名词,越疏远的越远离名词。其顺序为:
限定词——数词——描绘词(好、坏、美、丑等)——大小、长短、形状、新旧、颜色——出处——材料性质——作用、类别——名词。如:a tall white building一座高大的白色建筑;a beautiful large green Chinese carpet一条漂亮的大的绿色的中国地毯。
三、易错点梳理
1.副词very可以修饰形容词,但不能修饰动词。
(错)I very like English.
(对)I like English very much.
2.形容词most前面没有the,不表示最高级的含义,只表示“非常”。
It is a most important problem.
=It is a very important problem.
3.有些副词有两种形式,一个与形容词同形,一个以-ly结尾。但它们的含义是不同的。
close接近地;closely仔细地,密切地
free 免费地;freely自由地,无拘束地
hard努力地;hardly几乎不
late晚,迟;lately近来
most极,非常;mostly主要地
wide广阔地,充分地;widely广泛地
high高;highly高度地,非常地
deep深;deeply(抽象意义)深深地
loud大声地;loudly大声地(含有喧闹的意思)
near临近;nearly几乎
