词，需要后置。多个形容词修饰名词的排列顺序：限定词
(these/those)＋序数词＋基数词/量词＋描绘性形容词(beautiful)＋大小、长短、高低＋形状＋年龄＋颜色＋来源
(American)＋材料＋用途(writing)＋名词。

世纪。(2) 副词修饰形容词或其他副词时，一般位于被修 饰词 的 前面，但enough要放在被修饰词的后面。

1．两个事物进行比较应用比较级，三个或三个以上事物进行比较应用最高级。做题时既要通过分析数量关系确定 使用 比较级还是最高级，又要注意通过句意和语境进行判断 ，因 为很多题目并没有直接说明是几者进行比较，而是把 数量隐 含在句意中。2．若题目为省略句，应根据语境和语意寻找被比较的对象,然后确定比较的范围。
3. 使用比较级时比较的对象要一致：相同的对象可以比较,不同的对象不能进行比较。
