形容词、副词的比较级
1. 构成的不规则变化:
e.g. good / well – better – best
bad / badly – worse – worst
many / much – more – most
little – less – least
far – farther / further – farthest/
furthest大多数形容词和副词有三个等级：
原级、比较级、最高级。
一、形容词比较级的构成
1.构成的不规则变化:
2.构成的规则变化:
形容词和副词的比较级 2. 构成的规则变化:
1) 单音节词和少数双音节词一般在词尾
后加-er 构成比较级 或-est构成最高级. 如：
原级 比较级 最高级
cold –—— colder –—— coldest
bright——— brighter———brightest
young—— younger—— youngest2) 以字母 e 结尾的词只加 –r 或-st 构成
比较级和最高级。
原级 比较级 最高级
nice ——— nicer –——— nicest
fine——— finer———— finest
large —— larger ———— largest3) 重读闭音节词末尾只有一个辅音字母
时, 先双写这个辅音字母, 再加-er或-est。
如: big – bigger – biggest
thin – thinner – thinnest
4) 以“辅音字母+ y”结尾的双音节词，
先改y为i, 再加-er或-est。如：
easy – easier – easiest
happy – happier – happiest5) 多音节词和部分双音节词在词前加more 或most。如：
delicious – more delicious
– most delicious
interesting – more interesting
– most interesting
important—more important
—most important?讲述两者有差异, 第一个人物超过第二个人
物时用比较级。
基本句型：主语(‘A’)+谓语动词+形容词/副词比较级+than+主语(‘B’)+….??????????
e.g. A?modern?train?is?faster?than?a?car.
现代的火车比轿车快多了。
? This?book?didn’t?cost?me?more?than?that?one.
这本书花费我的钱不比那本多。???????比较级的用法在形容词比较级前还可用much, even,
still, a little来修饰, 表示“……的多”,
“甚至……”, “更……”, “……一些”。
e.g. 1) This city is much more beautiful
than before.
2) She’s a little more outgoing than me.
3) It’s a little colder today. 3.“比较级＋and＋比较级”意为“越来
越……” 。多音节比较级用“more and
more＋形容词原级”形式。如：
It’s getting worse and worse.
The group became more and more
popular.
4. “Which / Who is + 比较级…？”
比较A、B两事物, 问其中哪一个较……时
用此句型。如：
Which T-shirt is nicer, this one or that one?
Who is more active, Mary or Kate?
Which one is more popular among students,
going to concerts or going to movies?
5. 使用形容词比较级时需注意以下几点：
1) than后面接代词时, 一般要用主格形式，
但在口语中也可使用宾格形式。 如：
My brother is taller than I/me.
2) 当需要表示一方超过另一方的程度时，
可以用much, a lot, a little, a bit, even, still
等来修饰形容词比较级。注意: 比较级不
能用very, so, too, quite等修饰。如：
He is much more serious than Sam.3) 形容词比较级后面往往用连词than连接
另一个比较的人或事物, 但在上下文明确
的情况下, 形容词比较级可单独使用。如：
My sister is tall, but my aunt is taller.
我姐姐个子高, 但我姑姑个子更高。
4) 进行比较的人和物必须是同一类。
My books are more than yours.
I have more books than you.
英语连读发音原则一：
辅音+元音
即前一个词由辅音结尾，后一个词由元音开头，自然地连起来了。例如：
Take a look at it.
Will it take a lot of time to go to town on foot?Pronunciation and speaking1. Spain scored at a minute ago.
2. Last week the match on TV was so boring
because no one scored at all.
3. Oh, look at that.6 Listen and notice how the speaker links the words. Now listen again and repeat. 7 Work in pairs. Talk about the sports you like.－ Hey, Bruce. Which sport do you like,
