Unit 3
一、形容词比较级(2)
上一模块我们学习了单音节形容词和部分双音节形容词的比较级构成形式和比较级句子的表达方式。那么,还有部分双音节和多音节形容词,它们的比较级是如何构成的呢?也是在词尾加-er 吗?不是的,它们一般在形容词前加more 构成比较级。
如:outgoing → more outgoing,
beautiful → more beautiful。
常用比较级一些不规则变化(识记):
原级 比较级
good better
bad worse
little less
many/much more
far farther/further
二、副词和副词的比较级
(一)不难发现,副词一般修饰动词,通常出现在行为动词(实义动词)后,而形容词通常位于系动词之后作表语或名词之前作定语。
另外,形容词和副词也可以进行形式上的转换。如: careful + ly → carefully
quick + ly →quickly
safe + ly → safely
busy + ly → busily
heavy + ly → heavily
但需要注意,部分词语既可作形容词也可作副词,学习过程中要注意积累,如fast,early,late 等。
(二)副词的比较级
副词比较级和形容词比较级的变化形式大致相同,也分规则变化和不规则变化两种。
1.规则变化:
①单音节词在词尾直接加-er。
如:near → nearer hard → harder
②部分双音节和多音节词在词前加more。
如:
carefully → more carefully
warmly → more warmly
2.常用不规则变化:
原级 比较级
well better
badly worse
much more
little less
far farther/ further
(三)副词比较级句型
1.比较级 + than
如:I run faster than he/him.我比他跑得快。
Lily does her homework more carefully than Mary.莉莉做作业比玛丽更仔细。
2.比较级 + and+ 比较级
如:He studies harder and harder.
他学习越来越努力。
3.“the +比较级, the + 比较级”,表示“越……,越……”。如:
The more carefully you drive,the safer it is.
你越小心开车越安全。

Anyway, I said, “Yes.” Soon we talked freely about our studies, our lives, our hobbies as well as our problems of learning English. Time went fast, and it was already 11 o'clock before I realised it.
