一. 形容词(adj.)和副词(adv.)的比较级、最高级
大多数形容词和副词有三个等级:
1) 原级(不作比较),修饰词very, so, too, pretty, really;
2) 比较级,表示"较......"或"更......"的意思(两者之间进行比较), 标志词than , A or B, of the two, 修饰词much, a lot, a little;
Eg. Sam is taller than John.
Which story is more interesting, this one or that one?
Tom is the taller of the two boys. 汤姆是两个男孩中较高的那个。
3) 最高级,表示"最......"的意思(三者或三者以上作比较),形容词最高级前面一般要加定冠词the,后面可带in(of)短语来什么比较的范围。
比较级的用法:
1)比较级常常用than来连接被比较的两个人或事物。
Eg. Li Lei is taller than Wang Jun.
Her room is bigger than mine .
My classmate is fatter than me.
2) 比较级+and +比较级,表示"越来越..."
The days are getting longer and longer in summer.
3)the+比较级...,the+比较级....表示"越...就越..."
The harder you work, the better you will learn.
4) the+比较级+of the two表示"两者中较...的那个人或物"时,在比较级前
加定冠词the。
Eg. He is the taller of the two. 他是两人中较高的那个。
◇比较级前可以有一个表示程度的状语,最常见的三大修饰词是:a little,
much,even。
My sister is a little taller than me. 姐姐比我高一点。
Their house is much larger than ours. 他们的房子比我们的大很多。
◇比较应在同类事物之间进行。
