表示三者或三者以上的人或物進行比較時，用最高階。形容詞的最高階前面要加定冠詞the，副詞最高階前面的the可以省略。下面是小編整理的比較級和最高階的用法，希望能幫到大家！
1)構成:形容詞、副詞的原級形式是形容詞、副詞的原形.
2)用法:表示雙方在程度、性質、特徵等某方面相等時,用“as+原級形容詞或副詞+as”的結構;表示雙方不相等時,用“not so(as)+原級形容詞或副詞+as”的結構.例如:Xiao Wang is as tall as Xiao Liu. This building looks not so(as) high as that one. I’ll try to earn as much as Tom.
2.比較級和最高階的構成和用法1)比較級和最高階的構成:
①單音節形容詞以及少數以er,ow結尾的形容詞和副詞加“er”,“est”.例如:great,greater,greatest;fast,faster,fastest;clever,cleverer,cleverest;narrow,narrower,narrowest
②以e結尾的單音節形容詞和副詞,以及少數以ble,ple結尾的雙音節形容詞和副詞後,加“r”,“st”.例如:large,larger,largest;able,abler,ablest;simple,simpler,simplest
③以一個子音字母結尾的單音節形容詞,其前的母音字母發短母音時,該子音字母要雙寫,然後加“er”,“est”.例如:hot,hotter,hottest;big,bigger,biggest
④以子音字母加y結尾的形容詞和少數不是形容詞加ly構成的副詞,要將y改為i,再加“er”,“est”.例如:easy,easier,easiest;early,earlier,earliest
⑤一般雙音節詞、多音節形容詞和副詞在原級前加more或most.例如:beautiful,more beautiful,most beautiful;carefully,more carefully,most carefully
⑥少數單音節形容詞如real,glad,fond,tired,pleased等也加more和most構成比較級和最高階.例如:tired,more tired;most tired,pleased,more pleased,most pleased.
⑦下列形容詞與副詞的比較級和最高階有兩種構成方法:
crueler cruelest oftener oftenest
cruel{ often{
more cruel most cruel more often most often
stricter strictest friendlier friendliest
strict{ friendly{
more strict most strict more friendly most friendly
⑧下列形容詞、副詞的比較級和最高階的構成不規則:good(well),better,best;bad(ill,badly),worse,worst;many(much),more,most;little,less,least
farther farthest
far{
further furthest
old elder/older eldest/oldest
2)兩種比較級(最高階)形式用法上的差別:
older oldest
old{
elder eldest
elder和eldest主要用來表示兄弟姐妹之間的長幼關係,elder不與than連用.例如:She is the eldest of the three(sisters).(She is the eldest sister.) My elder brother is two years older than me. I am his eldest daughter(son).
farther farthest
far {
further furthest
further和furthest也是far的比較級和最高階,但現在furthest用得較少,而further除了表示距離等“較遠”之外,還有“進一步”的意思.例如:No further dis-cussion is necessary.沒有必要作進一步的討論’t make any changes till further notice.在另有通知之前,不要做任何變動.
later latest
late{
latter last
later指時間上的.“後來;稍後”,而latter指順序上的“後者”,與the連用.例如:See you later. Betty and Susan are both my girl friends;the former(前者)is slim(瘦)and the latter is plump(胖).
注意:latter常指一段時間的“下一半”.例如:the latter half of the month下半月st指時間上的“最遲的、最近的”;last指順序上“最後的”.例如:one’s latest works某人最近的作品,the last month of the year一年的最後一個月.
