形容词、 副词的比较等级
【要点提示】
英语里形容词和副词有三个比较等级,即原级、比较级和最高级,它们是用来表示事物的等级差别的。
构成:单音节词和部分双音节词一般在词尾加-er或 -est,多音节词和部分双音节词一般在词前加more或most构成比较级和最高级,但形容词最高级前要加定冠词the, 副词最高级前的the可加可不加。另外有些不规则的变化要记住。如good / well→better→best,bad / ill→worse→worst, many / much→more→most, little→less→least等。
形容词、副词比较等级的基本用法:
1. 原级常用于“as + 原级 + as”结构,否定的原级用not as ... as或not so ... as。
2. 比较级常用于“比较级 + than”结构,否定比较级可用not as (so) ... as ...结构,也可用less ... than ...结构。
3. 最高级常用于“the + 最高级 + 比较范围”结构,形容词的否定最高级也可用the least。
形容词、副词比较等级的其它用法:
1. 比较级前可用much, a lot, a bit, a little, far, still, even等表示程度的词。
2. 比较级前可用“数词 + 名词”构成的名词短语表示确定的度量。
3. 表示“越来越……”,用“比较级 + and + 比较级”结构或“more and more + 原级”。
4. 表示“越……,就越……”,常用“the + 比较级,the + 比较级”结构。
5. 最高级可被序数词以及much, by far, nearly, almost 等词所修饰。
6. 表示“A 和 B,哪一个(人)较……?”可用句型“Which / Who + 谓语动词 + 比较级,A or B?”。
7. “比较级 + than any other + 名词单数”表示“比任何一个都更……”,这时可以和最高级替换。
8. 表示“哪一个(人)最……?”可用句型“Which /Who + 谓语动词 + 最高级,A, B or C?”。
9. “one of the + 形容词最高级 + 名词复数”表示“最……之一”。
※ 特别提示
1. more than作为固定词组意为“多于”,常用于数词之前。
2. 如果形容词前的most相当于very时,不用定冠词the。
