形容词比较等级形式变化有规则的和不规则的两种。
规则变化
(1)单音节词末尾加-er（比较级），-est（最高级）
【例】 原级 比较级 最高级

(2)单音节如以e结尾，只加-r（比较级），-st（最高级）
【例】 fine finer finest nice nicer nicest wide wider widest
(3)闭音节单音节词如末尾只有一个 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )辅音字母，（辅音﹢元音﹢辅音【w,r除外】）须先双写这个辅音字母，再加-er（比较级），-est（最高级）
【简记：大红辣椒潮湿瘦变胖】
big bigger bigge ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )st hot hotter hottest red redder reddest
fat fatter fa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ttest thin thinner thinnest wet wetter wettest

（5）其它双音节和多音节词皆在前面加单词more和most。

little → less ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) least ， far → farther/further farthest/furthest
注：有些形容词一般没有比较等级。如： right, wrong, woolen等。
2.形容词的比较等级的用法：比较级用于二者的比较，并且用于同类事物之间的比较，不同事物之间不可以比较。最高级用于三者或三者以上比较。

You look a little thinner than last year.
你看起来去年瘦了一点。
The box is much bigger than that one.
这个盒子比那个大得多。
The matter gets even worse.

这个女孩是两个(人)中较高的一个。
The blue sweater is the cheaper of the two.
这件蓝色的毛衣是两个中比较便宜的。
④表示“大几岁”“长几米”“高多少”“年轻多少”“多少倍”等，用“数量＋比较级+than”，如：

我比我的妹妹大两岁。
The river is ten kilometers longer than that one.
这条河比那条河长十米。
The mountain is six meters higher than that one.
这座山比那座山高十米。

他吃得越多，他就变得越胖。
The better you do, the more you will get.
你做得越好，你得到的越多。
⑦在含有or的选择疑问句中，如果有两者供选择，前面的形容词要用比较级形式。如：
Who is taller, Tim or Tom
Tim还是Tom, 谁更高
Which one is better this one or that one
哪一个更好，这个还是那个
⑧同一类人或事物在某一范围内进行比较时，常用
“比较级+than any other+名词单数”，如：
Shanghai is bigger than any other city in China.
在中国，上海比其他城市都大。（上海市中国最大的城市。）
Tony is taller than any other student in our class.
Tony 是我们班最高的学生。
（4）原级比较
同一级别的比较，一般用“as+形容词/副词原级+as”,表示“和……一样……”，如:
Mr Green is as healthy as Mrs Green.
格林先生和格林太太一样健康。
He is as tall as me.
他和我一样高。
注：“not as +形容词/副词原级+ as”意为“不如……”或“not so…as…”
