一、比較級前可用a bit, a little, rather, some(肯定句及請求或建議的問句中), any(否定句或疑問句中)表示“稍稍，一點”；用much, far, a great/good deal, a lot, lots, a good bit等表示“……得多”；用still(只用於肯定句), even, yet等表示“更加”。如：
Can you move a little farther?你可以站稍遠一點嗎？
Do you feel any better today?你今天覺得好一點了嗎？

There are far more people than we expected. 人比我們預計的多得多。
He is fat，but his brother is still fatter. 他很胖，但他哥哥更胖。
注：
在作定語的比較級形容詞前一般只用far或much。如：

在修飾或代替複數可數名詞的`more前不可用much，而要用many。如：
I’ve made many more mistakes than you have.我出的錯比你多得多。
二、表示確定程度的修飾語，如分數、倍數或有關長度、時間、重量等名詞片語通常放在比較級前，也可由by引出而置於比較級之後。如：
China is one-sixth larger than the United States.中國比美國大六分之一。
Their house is about three times bigger than ours.他們的房子大約有我們房子三倍大。
He is three years older than his brother.他比他兄弟大三歲。
三、最高階前可用the second, the very, much the, (by) far the, not quite the, nearly the, almost the等修飾。如：
She is by far the most active member in our group. 她是我們組最最活躍的成員。
Africa is the second largest continent.非洲是第二大洲。
This hat is nearly/almost the biggest. 這帽子差不多是最大的了。
注意：very和much修飾最高階時的不同位置。
This is the very best. =This is much the best.這是最最好(難)的。
4)倍數可以放在as…as的第一個as前作修飾語。如：
Their house is about three times as big as ours. 他們的房子大約有我們房子三倍大。
