OBJECTIVES 学习目标
1 知道形容词的最高级的常见变化形式。
2 熟悉常用形容词的最高级的不规则变化。
Superlative Adjectives
When we compare three or more things, we use the superlative form
of the adjective.
当比较的对象是3个或3个以上时,最终的结果是有1个对象
是“最xxx”,比如最高,最多等,这个时候我们使用形容词
的”最高级“(the superlative form of the adjective)。
tall 高的
taller 更高的
the tallest 最高的
通过对比,你可以把后缀“est”对应成中文的“最”字来理解。至
于前面加的the,这是一种规定,凡是最高级前面都要加the。
实际上也符合the的用法,“确定性”。
下面具体来看如何将一个形容词变成它的最高级。
