Grammar Focus 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

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： – most delicious 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。
