形容词和副词的最高级
1. 形容词和副词的最高级的构成
形容词和副词最高级的规则变化：
（1）单音节词末尾加-est：
great → greatest small → smallest
（2）单音节若以e结尾，只加-st：
fine → finest nice → nicest wide → widest
（3）重读闭音节单音节词若末尾只有一个辅音字母，双写这个辅音字母再加-est：
big → biggest hot → hottest red → reddest
（4）以辅音字母+y结尾的词，则变y为-i，再加-est：
busy → busiest easy → easiest
（5）大部分双音节词和多音节词，在词前加most：
careful → most careful slowly → most slowly
最高级用于三者或三者以上的人或事（物）之间的比较。
在句中常含有表示比较范围的介词of/ among或in；of/ among 后面一般接表示一群人或事物的代词或名词，in 后面一般接表示单位或场所的名词。
2. 形容词和副词的最高级的用法
不规则变化:
much/ many→most good/ well→best
little/ few→least bad/ badly→worst
比尔是我们中最高的男孩。 Bill is the tallest boy of us.
简在我们班拥有的朋友最多。Jane has the most friends in our class.
（1）序数词后用最高级。在表达“第几（长、大、远……）”时，序数词后用形容词的最高级形式。
黄河是中国的第二长河。
The Yellow River is the second longest river in China.
最高级的三个特殊用法：
【注意】最高级前是否加定冠词the 要视具体情况而定。
总的原则：形容词的最高级前一定要加定冠词the；副词的最高级前可加，也可不加。
（2）在表达“最……的……之一”时，用最高级，一般构成“one of the +形容词的最高级+可数名词复数”的结构。
重庆是我们国家最大的城市之一。
Chongqing is one of the biggest cities in our country.
（3）在表达“某人最……的……”时，用
“某人的+形容词的最高级+名词”结构。
琳达是我妹妹最好的朋友。
Linda is my younger sister’s best friend.
她是我们班跑得最快的。
She runs fastest in our class.
= She runs faster than any other student in our class.
= She runs faster than the other students in our class.
3. “形容词/副词比较级+ than + any other + 单数可数名词”也可以表达最高级意义，表示“比其他任何……都……”。如：
Jim is cleaver than any other boy of his age.
吉姆比同龄的任何男孩都聪明。
