大多数形容词有三个级。
1. 原级:
Structure : as ... as... 像..….一样
e.g. Tim is as tall as Tom.
2. 比较级 (用于两者之间的比较):
Structure:形容词比较级+ than ...
e.g. This box is bigger than that one.
形容词和副词的比较级和最高级
3. 最高级(用于三者或三者以上的比较):
Structure:
the + 形容词的最高级+of / in ...
e.g. Tom is the heaviest in our class.
He is the most popular in our school.
规则变化
1) 一般情况下,单音节或双音节的形容词/副词比较级+er, 最高级+est。如:
clever — cleverer — cleverest
few — fewer — fewest
small — smaller — smallest 等。
形容词、副词的比较级和最高级
规则变化和不规则变化
2) 以e结尾的词,比较级+r,最高级+st 即可。 如:
nice — nicer — nicest
cute — cuter — cutest
large — larger — largest
3) 以辅音字母+y结尾的变y为i+er或est
如: easy — easier — easiest
happy — happier — happiest
再如:early, busy, heavy, dirty, lazy 也如此。
4) 重读闭音节,单辅音结尾的,双写这个辅音字母+er 或 est的词:
① fat — fatter — fattest
② thin — thinner — thinnest
③ hot — hotter — hottest
④ red — redder — reddest
⑤ wet — wetter — wettest
⑥ big — bigger — biggest
5) 多音节和部分双音节的词需要在形容词
原级前+more 构成比较级,+the most 构
成最高级。如:
beautiful - more beautiful - the most beautiful
又如: delicious, popular, important, interesting, expensive, creative
双音节的词如:
careful - more careful - the most careful
useful - more useful - the most useful
少数单音节词也是这样,如:
pleased — more pleased — the most pleased
tired — more tired — the most tired
b) 不规则变化:
good — better — best
well — better — best
bad — worse — worst
many/much — more — most
far — farther —farthest (距离远)
far — further — furthest (程度深)
old — elder — eldest (长幼)
old — older — oldest (年龄)
三者或三者以上相比,表示最高程度时,用“the + 最高级”的结构表示。这种句式一般常有表示比较范围的介词短语。例如:
Zhang Hua is the tallest of the three.
He works (the) hardest in his class.
最高级的用法
2. 最高级可被序数词以及 much,by far,nearly,almost,by no means,not quite,not really,nothing like 等词语所修饰。例如:
This hat is by far/much/nearly/almost/not nearly/by no means/not quite/nothing like the biggest. How much did the second most expensive hat coat
比较级考点
① 比较级修饰问题
a little, a bit, even, still, much, a lot, far 等可修饰比较级。
e.g. Tom is a little taller than Jim.
This book is much more interesting than that one.

② 同级比较
e.g. The weather in Beijing is colder than that in Xi’an.

3 “a/an + 比较级” 表示“又一,再一”
e.g. Lily has a doll, but she wants a bigger one.
4 隐性比较(没有than的情况)
e.g. Who runs faster, Lucy or Lily
You’d better come earlier next time.
He worked hard last term, but he works even harder this term.
5 越来越......
比较级 + and + 比较级
b. the + 比较级 + 句子,the + 比较级 + 句子
e.g. It’s getting colder and colder.

说明:形容词的最高级前必须加the;副词的最高级前省略the。
① 范围问题
e.g. Tom is the tallest student in the class.
Spring is the best season of the year.
② “......之一”问题
e.g. Beijing is one of the biggest cities in the world.
③ “the + 序数词 + 最高级”
e.g. I think he is the second tallest boy in his class.
3. 比较级和最高级的转换
e.g. Tom is the tallest student in the class.
= Tom is taller than any other student in the class.
= Tom is taller than all the other students in the class.
= No other students are taller than Tom.
总结:① any other + 名词单数
the other + 名词复数
② 否定 + 比较级 = 最高级
比较级 + 极限 = 最高级
