Grammar
比较级
比较级用于比较两个主体。组成句子的方式是将形容词或副词变成比较级的形式,之后要用than引出比较的对象。
形容词比较级的构成
——?规则变化:
单音节和部分双音节词
一般在词尾加-er
tall→taller
long→longer
以不发音字母e结尾的词,在词尾加-r
fine→finer
late→later
重读闭音节词且词尾只有一个辅音字母,双写辅音字母再加-er
big→bigger
thin→thinner
?以“辅音字母?+?y”结尾的双音节词,先把“y”改为“i”再加-er
easy→easier??
friendly→
friendlier
比较级的句子结构:
原来的句子结构不变,只是将形容词变成比较级的形式,然后在后面用than引出所比较的对象。例如:
1)
Shanghai
is
busy.
Shanghai
is
busier
than
Hangzhou.
2)
Shanghai
is
an
old
city.
Shanghai
is
an
older
city
than
Shenzhen.
比较级常用句型:
1)
A+动词+形容词比较级+than
+B
意为“A比B更……”
This
tree
is
taller
than
that
one.
The
climate

Ningbo.
2)

Which

比较级,
…or…?
Which

this
one
or
that
one?
3)
……比较级+and+比较级……“越来越…”
In
spring,
the
days

and

4)
as+形容词原形+as…
“和……一样……”

is
as
tall
as
Mike.?
This
girl
is
as
beautiful
as
that
one.
I
was
as
happy
as
John
yesterday.
否定形式:not
as…as…或
not
so…
as…
意为“和……
不一样”、“不及/不如……”。
Tom
is
not
as
tall
as
Mike.
Tom
is
not
so
tall
as
Mike.
This
book

interesting
as
that
one.
注意:
修饰比较级的副词要用much,
a
lot,
a
little,
a
bit,
far,
even,
still等。very不能和比较级连用。如:It
