【语法解读】
一、副词比较级和最高级的构成
1. 规则变化
构成方法 举 例
原级 比较级 最高级
单音节和个别双音节词在词尾加后缀-er和-est hard努力 harder hardest
fast快 faster fastest
early早 earlier earliest
绝大部分双音节和多音节词借助more和most构成比较级和最高级 slowly慢 more slowly most slowly
quickly快 more quickly most quickly
carefully 仔细地 more carefully most carefully
2. 不规则变化
原级 比较级 最高级
well better best
badly worse worst
much more most
little less least
far farther/further farthest/furthest
二、副词比较级的用法
1. 表示“A比B更……”句型: A+谓语+比较级+than +B
2. 表示“A和B, 哪一个/谁更…… ”
句型: Which/Who +谓语+比较级, A or B
3. 表示“A与B一样……”句型: A+谓语+as+原级 +as +B

(1)A+ be not +as/so+原级+as +B
(2)A+助动词not/情态动词not+谓语+as/so+原级+as +B
【易错警示】
(1)在“比较级+than”句型中, 当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。该动词或助动词可以省略。
(2)副词的比较级前可以用much, even, a little, a lot, a bit或倍数等修饰, 表示相比较的两者/两部分差异程度的大小。
【拓展延伸】

解题技巧
副词比较级解题方法:
(1)看结构: 句中含有as/so. . . as结构时, 形容词或副词用原级;
(2)找关键词: 句中有than时, 一定使用比较级;
(3)辨句意: 句中无than时, 根据句意来确定是否用比较级。
