…as “ 不如……一样……”

形容词和副词的比较级和最高级。 大多数形容词和副词有三个等级：原级、比较级、最高级。一、构成

Grammar Focus

1. 构成的不规则变化 :eg. good / well – better – best

bad / badly – worse – worst

many / much – more – most

little – less – least

far – farther / further – farthest/

furthest

2. 构成的规则变化 :

1) 单音节词和少数双音节词 一般在词尾后加 -er 或 -est. 如：

cold – colder – coldest

nice — nicer – nicest

2) 重读闭音节词末尾只有一个辅音字母时 , 先双写这个辅音字母 , 再加 -er 或 -est 。如 : big – bigger – biggest

thin – thinner – thinnest

3) 以“辅音字母 + y” 结尾的双音节词， 先改 y 为 i, 再加 -er 或 -est 。如： easy – easier – easiest

happy – happier – happiest

4) 多音节词和部分双音节词在词前加 more 或 most 。如： delicious – more delicious

– most delicious

interesting – more interesting

– most interesting

二、用法1. 比较级表示两者 ( 人或事物 ) 的比较。eg. I am taller than Tom.

My dress is more beautiful than hers.

3) 形容词比较级后面往往用连词 than 连接

另一个比较的人或事物 , 但在上下文明确

的情况下 , 形容词比较级可单独使用。如：

My sister is tall, but my aunt is taller.

我姐姐个子高 , 但我姑姑个子更高。
