Grammar Focus
Presentation
形容词和副词的比较等级
大多数形容词和副词有三个等级:
1. 原级,即原形。e.g. good; fast; outgoing...
2. 比较级,表示“较……” 或“更……一些”。
e.g. better; faster; more outgoing...
3. 最高级,表示“最……”。 e.g. best; fastest; most outgoing...
Grammar
比较级构成的规则变化
单音节词和部分双音节词 一般在词尾加-er tall-taller
high-higher
以字母e结尾的词加-r fine-finer
wide-wider
重读闭音节词词尾只有一个辅音字母时,先双写该辅音字母,再加-er hot-hotter
big-bigger
以“辅音字母+y”结尾的双音节词,变“y” 为 “i”,再加-er lazy-lazier
happy-happier
多音节词和部分双音节词在其前面加more interesting-more interesting
popular-more popular
比较级有规律, 词尾加上-er两兄弟;
要是以e来结尾, 只有小二(r)跟上去;
重读闭音节词要牢记, 双写千万别忘记;
要是“辅音+y”来结尾, 小艾(i)要把y来替, 再加-er两兄弟;
多音节词加上m-o-r-e, 你看这样多容易。

易混辨析
farther与further
farther 表示距离上更远。
e.g. I have to walk farther to work now.
further 即可表示距离上更远,也可表示程度上或抽象意义上的更深远或更进一步。
e.g. Let's consider this point further.
further 还可作动词,表示“促进;增进”。
e.g. She took the new job to further her career.
易混辨析
比较级常用句型
比较级+than
A + be + 形容词比较级 + than + B
A + 实义动词 + 副词比较级+ than + B
注意:than前后所使用的动词相同时,通常用助动词代替后面的动词或省略后面的动词。
Tom is taller than me.
Tom runs faster than me (do).
比较级常用句型
◆“the + 比较级 + of the two” 意为 “两者中比较……的”。
English is becoming more and more important.
◆“比较级 + and + 比较级” 或 “more and more+ 形容词/副词原级”,表示 “越来越……”,其后均不可接than。
After the new year, the day is becoming warmer and warmer.
◆“The + 比较级, the + 比较级” 意为 “越……,越……”。
The harder she worked, the more progress she made.

比较级常用句型
◆“Which/Who... + 比较级, A or B ”
表示 “A和B,哪一个/谁更……?”

◆“A...+ 倍数 + 比较级 + than + B” 表示 “A是B的多少倍”。
Our school is three times bigger than yours.
◆“比较级 + than any other + 可数名词单数” = “比较级 + than the other + 可数名词复数”,表示“比其他任何/所有……都……”。该句型在同一范围内进行比较。
China is larger than any other country/the other countries in Asia.
比较级常用句型
◆“比较级 + than any + 可数名词单数”,意为 “比任何……都”,表示不在同一范围内比较。

◆“否定 + 比较级”,意为 “不能更……”或“再……不过了”,表示最高级的意思。

可修饰比较级的词
当表示一方超过另一方的“程度”时,可以用much, a lot, a little, a bit, even, far等来修饰形容词比较级。注意:比较级不能用very, so, too等修饰。
He is much more serious than his brother.
This book is even more useful than that one.
Can you come to school a little earlier tomorrow morning
巧学妙记:两多(much, a lot)两少(a little, a bit)一甚至(even),
还有一个远(far)去了。
比较级的注意事项
1)比较对象必须一致。
My hair is longer than yours.
2)有时为了避免重复,可用that或those代替前面提到的词,
而且that或those不能省略。
The weather in Hainan is warmer than that in Beijing.
His stories are more interesting than those I told.
yours相当于your hair
用原级表示比较级的句型
as...as 与……一样……
as...as用来进行同级比较,中间要用形容词或副词的原级。
This movie is as moving as that one.
同级比较用原级,as...as永不离。若是否定加not,后者总是强前者。
as...as的否定结构是not as/so...as,意为“不如……那样……”。
My sister is not as/so outgoing as me.
