玲玲家离学校最近。
It is the most comfortable way, but it is also the most
expensive.
这是最舒适的方式,但也是最贵的。
Tony lives the farthest from school.

Of all the students in my class, Macy writes the most
carefully.
在我们班所有的学生中,梅西写得最仔细。从以上句子可以看出,形容词和副词的最高级的规则变化
有两种形式,一种是在词尾加-est,另一种是在单词前面加most。
请看下表:
请注意:在表示 “A 比 B······时”,我们用 A is …
than B,但最高级表达的是三个及三个以上事物
的比较状况,所以后面通常用 in/of/among…来
表示比较的范围。例如:
Jack is the tallest in our class.
杰克是我们班个子最高的。
Tom lives (the) closest to school of all my classmates.
在我们班所有的同学中,汤姆住得离学校最近。
另外,请同学们注意:形容词的最高级前通常要
加定冠词the;副词的最高级前可加,也可不加。常见形容词、副词最高级不规则变化如下:英文中的重读规则:
