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
One syllable adjectives
Add -est for the superlative. If the adjective has a consonant +
single vowel + consonant spelling, the final consonant must be
doubled before adding the ending.
对上节课的规则总结如下:
单音节形容词
最高级加-est。如果形容词的发音结构为辅音+单元音+辅
音,在加上est之前,最后的辅音字母必须双写。
tall --- tallest
big --- biggest
Superlative Adjectives
Two syllables
Adjectives with two syllables can form the superlative by adding -
est . For adjectives ending in y, change the y to an i before adding
the ending.
双音节形容词
最高级加-est。对于以y结尾的形容词,在添加结尾est之前
将y改为i。
narrow --- narrowest
busy --- busiest
接下来本课将讨论多音节形容词的最高级。
Superlative Adjectives
Three or more syllables
Adjectives with three or more syllables form the superlative by
putting the most in front of the adjective.
多音节形容词
有三个或三个以上音节的形容词通过在形容词前面加上独
立的单词the most来形成最高级。
beautiful --- the most beautiful
attractive --- the most attractive
Put “the most” in front of these adjectives.
在单词前+ the most
delicious more delicious the most delicious
Put “the most” in front of these adjectives.
在单词前+ the most
beautiful more beautiful the most beautiful
Put “the most” in front of these adjectives.
在单词前+ the most
the most
