(即表示“最高程度”或“绝对状态”的形容词和副词没有比较级和最高级)
empty, wrong, perfect, unique, extreme, excellent, favourite, true, right, correct, extremely ...
形容词副词比较级最高级使用注意事项 ◇比较应在同类事物之间进行。
误:Your English is better than me. 正:Your English is better than mine.
◇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。
以下单词也可用来修饰:any, far, still, a lot, yet, rather。 My sister is a little taller than me. Their house is much larger than ours. 另外,名词短语也可修饰比较级,说明程度。 I’m three years older than he.
特别提醒:very, quite, too不可修饰比较级。 ◇避免重复使用比较级。
误:He is more kinder to small animals than I. 正:He is much kinder to small animals than I. 误:He is more cleverer than his brother. 正:He is cleverer than his brother.
◇比较要符合逻辑,在同一范围内比较时,避免将主语含在比较对象中,这时需使用other来排除自身。
误:China is larger that any country in Asia.
正:China is larger than any other country in Asia. 误:John studies harder than any student in his class.
正:John studies harder than any other student in his class.
正:John studies harder than any of the other students in his class. 正:John studies harder than anyone else in his class. ◇比较要遵循前后一致的原则,注意前后呼应。
The population of Shanghai is larger than that of Beijing. It is easier to make a plan than to carry it out. ◇序数词通常只修饰最高级。
Africa is the second largest continent.
The Yellow River is the second longest river in China. This is the third most popular song of Michael Jackson.
◇为避免重复,我们通常用that, those, one, ones代替前面出现的名词。that代替可数名词单数和不可数名词,those代替可数名词复数。one既可指人又可指物,只能代替可数名词。
The weather in China is different from that in America.
The book on the table is more interesting than that(或the one)on the desk. A box made of steel is stronger than one made of wood. 误:In winter, the weather of Beijing is colder than it of Shanghai.
正:In winter, the weather of Beijing is colder than that of Shanghai. ◇“否定词 + 比较级”相当于最高级。
----Wait until we get a satisfactory reply, will you? ----I couldn't agree more. The idea sounds great to me.
Nothing is so easy as this. =Nothing is easier than this. =This is the easiest thing.
◇比较级前一般不加冠词。但表示两者中较突出者,且比较级后又有名词或出现了of the two,这时比较级前一定要加the。
He is the taller of the two.
Of the two jobs,he chose the harder. Which is the younger one, Lily or Lucy? 试比较:
Which is larger, Canada or Australia?
Which is the larger country, Canada or Australia? She is taller than her two sisters. She is the taller of the two sisters.
◇不含than 的比较级前可加不定冠词修饰,构成“a/an+比较级+单数可数名词”表示 “一个更……的人/物”。
Why don’t you use a sharper knife? 你为什么不用一把更锋利的刀呢? ◇比较级than 后应用人称代词的主格,但非正式语体中常用宾格。 He is taller than I/me.
◇为避免重复,比较级中同样的动词用助动词do, does, did替代。 I spend less time doing homework than John does. She tells more funny jokes than we do.
以下内容不是初中教学的重点,仅供拓展之用。
◇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. ◇倍数表达法
▲A is three(four, etc.)times the size(height, length etc.)of
B.The new building is four times the size(the height)of the old one. 这座新楼是那座旧楼的四倍大(高)/这座新楼比那座旧楼大(高)三倍。 ▲A is three(four, etc.)times as big(high, long, etc.)as B. Asia is four times as large as Europe. 亚洲是欧洲的四倍大/亚洲比欧洲大三倍。 ▲A is three (four, etc.)times bigger(higher, longer, etc.)than B. Your school is three times bigger than ours.你们的学校比我们的学校大三倍。 用times表倍数通常用于三倍以上,两倍可以用twice或double. 形容词副词比较级最高级重点句型归纳 ◇句型一:形容词或副词比较级+than…
□注意事项:
该句型为比较级的最基本句型。只要看到than,即可确定前面使用比较级。 He is taller than I am.
The boy does his homework more carefully than the girl. ◇句型二:less + 形容词的原级 + than □注意事项:
该句型表示“不如、不及”,特别需要注意的是,less本身就是little的比较级,后面必须跟形容词的原级,否定就造成了比较级的重复使用。
This computer is less expensive than that one. ◇句型三:as +形容词或副词的原级+ as □注意事项:
该句型表示对比的两者程度相当,as之间必须跟形容词或副词的原级,决不能使用比较级。此外,还要确定使用形容词还是副词。确定的依据就是根据第一个as前的动词,如果是系动词(如be,感官动词look, sound, smell, taste, feel等),那么就用形容词的原级,如果前面的动词是一般的实义动词,那么就必须用副词的原级修饰动词。
This lesson is as easy as that one.
Lucy talks with old people as politely as her sister. 特别提醒:as…as之间也可以跟名词,句型如下: ☆as +形容词+ a/an +单数名词+as
He is as kind a person as his father. 他和他爸爸一样都是善良的人。 ☆as + many/much+不可数名词/可数名词复数+as
I can carry as much paper as you can. 你能搬多少纸,我也能。 I have as many books as you do. 我的书和你的一样多。
We’ll give you as much help as we can. 我们将尽我们所能给你帮助。 其它几个关于as…as的句型: ☆as…as one can:尽其所能
He began to run as fast as he could. ☆as … as possible:尽可能
Please help us as quickly as possible. ☆as soon as…一……就……
He will call me as soon as he comes here.
◇句型四:not as/so +形容词或副词的原级+ as □注意事项:
该句型表示“前者不如后者……”,往往可以与句型一和句型二替换。第一个as可以换为so。
This classroom is not as bright as yours. I cannot run as fast as you.
◇句型五:the +形容词或副词最高级+ in / of / among +比较范围 □注意事项:
如果这里为副词最高级,前面的the常常省略。介词in和of的用法完全不一样。in表示“在某一范围内”,如:in the classroom,in the world。of表示“在同类之间”,of后面的词与主语同类,另名词前一般有冠词the。among表示“在(三者或三者以上)之间”,among后接代词或没有修饰语的名词。
The Changjiang River is the longest river in our country. Peter is the tallest of the six students.
This picture is the most beautiful among these. ◇句型六:one of + 形容词最高级+可数名词复数形式 □注意事项: one of有三大考点:1. 后跟形容词最高级;2. 后接可数名词复数形式;3. 作主语时主语为one,谓语动词用单数形式。
One of the smallest dinosaurs was about one metre long.
◇句型七:比较级+and +比较级 / more and more +多音节词的原级 □注意事项:
该句型表示“越来越……”,如果该形容词比较级构成形式加er,则用前面的句型;如果该形容词比较级加more构成,则用后面的句型。
It is getting hotter and hotter.
The girl is becoming more and more beautiful. ◇句型八:the +比较级+…, the +比较级+… □注意事项:
该句型意思为“越……就越……”,表示两种情况同时变化。 The more you eat, the fatter you will be.
In the test, the more careful you are, the fewer mistakes you will make. ◇句型九:be different from □注意事项:
该句型没有运用比较级,但也是对两者事物进行比较。注意前后比较需在同类事物中进行。
My schoolbag is different from yours.
◇句型十:the same as… / the same…as… □注意事项:
该句型同样没有运用比较级,表示两者之间具有共同特性。注意这里的as和same为固定搭配,不能随便变换。
I don’t want to buy the same things as Amy did.
◇句型十一:比较级+than + any other +名词单数形式 □注意事项: any other 后面跟单数名词,表示“任何别的”,即主语在范围内,必须把自身从这一范围内除去,否则逻辑上不通。如果主语不在这一范围内,那么要把other去掉,只用any即可。
Shanghai is larger than any other city in China. (上海在中国这个范围内,所以用any other)
Shanghai is larger than any city in Jiangsu. (上海不在江苏,所以只需用any) ◇句型十二:比较级+than + the other +名词复数形式 □注意事项:
该句型相当于any other +名词单数形式,常用来进行同义句改写。该句型与句型十一虽然波表面上都是比较级,但实际上相当于最高级。以下三句表达的是同一个意思。
Daniel is the most hard-working student in our class.
Daniel is more hard-working than any other student in our class. Daniel is more hard-working than the other students in our class.
特别提醒:表示两者(人或物)比较时,比较的对象应是同类事物,不同类的事物之间无法进行比较。
