Step

Grammar
形容词与副词
对于形容词与副词，我们主要掌握两点，一是形容词与副词的句法功能，二是形容词与副词的比较级和最高级。
1.
形容词的句法功能
一般来说，形容词可以放在名词之前作定语，也可以放在系动词之后作表语，还可以作宾语补足语等。例如：
Did
you
see
that
old
photograph
that
I
found?
It’s
a
lovely
picture.
你看见我找到的那张老照片了吗？画面真美。(定语)
They
were
very
nice.
他们很友善。(表语)
People’s
lives
seem
busy
now.
现在人们的生活似乎很忙碌。(表语)
We
must
keep
our
classroom
clean
and
tidy.
我们必须保持教室干净整洁。(宾语补足语)
形容词作定语一般都是放在名如果修饰的是不定代词something,
anything,
nothing,
somebody,
anybody,
nobody等，就要放在后面。例如：
Is
there
anything
special
in
the
paper
today?
今天报纸上有什么特别的新闻吗？
I
didn’t
find
anything
funny
about
it.
我觉得这事一点儿都不可笑。
There
is
nothing
new
in
the
store.
商店里没有什么新东西。
很多副词都以-ly结尾，但是“名词+ly”的词则多为形容词，如：weekly,
friendly等，应注意区别。例如：
A
friendly
voice
answered
the
phone.
接电话的是一个友好的声音。
2.
副词的句法功能
副词一般用作状语，修饰动词、形容词、副词以及全句，表示程度、方式等。例如：
They
speak
highly
of
you.
他们对你的评价很高。
We
were
very
lucky
to
find
you
here.
我们很幸运在这里找到了你。
The
spring
passed
too
quickly.
春天过得太快了。
Hopefully,
we’ll
meet
again
on
Friday.
希望我们星期五再见面。
3.
形容词与副词的比较级和最高级
就形容词、副词的比较级和最高级而言，一是要掌握比较级和最高级的构成，二是要掌握比较级句型。
1)
比较级的句型
(1)
比较级+than，表示“比…更…”
e.g.
Health
is
more
important
than
wealth.
健康比财富更重要。
He
got
up
earlier
than
I
did
this
morning.
今天早上他起得比我早。
(2)
比较级+
and+比较级，表示“越来越……”。
e.g.
The
story
gets
more
and
more
exciting.
故事变得越来越激动人心。
Our
lives
are
getting
better
and
better.
我们的生活越来越好。
(3)
The+比较级，the+比较级，表示
“越……，越……”
e.g.
The
more
you
spend
on
it,
the
greater
progress
you
will
make.
你在这上面花的时间越多，你的进步就会越大。
The
more
he
talked,
the
more
excited
he
grew.
他越说越激动。
同级比较一般采用as...as…句型，否定句可以用not
so
/
as…表示。
e.g.
He
is
as
tall
as
his
father.
他和父亲一样高。
I
get
up
not
so
early
as
you.
我不如你起得早。
2)
最高级的表达方式
(1)
the+
最高级+
of/in…
e.g.
Jim
is
the
tallest
of
the
three.
吉姆是三人中最高的。
He
is
the
most
diligent
student
in
his
class.
他是班上最勤奋的学生。
(2)
选择疑问句
e.g.
Who
is
the
tallest,
Tom,
Jack
or
Bill?
汤姆、杰克和比尔，谁个子最高？
(3)
the+最高级+定语从句
e.g.
It
is
the
most
interesting
book
I
have
ever
read.21世纪教育网版权所有
这是我所读过的最有趣的一本书。
3)
比较级和最高级的修饰语
比较级和最高级的修饰语应置于其所修饰的形容词或副词之前。常见的比
较级修饰语有much,
still,
a
lot,
even,
far等。
e.g.
He
worked
much
harder
then.
那时他工作要努力得多。
常见的最高级修饰语有almost,
by
far,
far,
much等。
e.g.
This
is
by
far
the
most
expensive
bag
in
the
shop.21·世纪

这是目前这家商店里最贵的包。
