英語比較級和最高級的用法歸納
在學(xué)習(xí)英語過程中,會遇到很多的語法問題,比如比較級和最高級的用法,對于這些語法你能夠掌握嗎?下面是小編整理的英語比較級和最高級的用法,歡迎閱讀!
英語中比較級和最高級的解釋
比較級(Comparative Degree)就是將二者進(jìn)行比較產(chǎn)生的詞形,是由形容詞原級轉(zhuǎn)化而來的,一般是在原級后面加er,也有一些不規(guī)則的轉(zhuǎn)化,比如good—better,bad—worse,有很多。相對二者的比較,還有三者及以上的比較,這時就產(chǎn)生了最高級。
在英語中通常用下列方式表示的詞:在形容詞或副詞前加more(如 more natural,more clearly )或加后綴 -er(newer,sooner )。典型的是指形容詞或副詞所表示的質(zhì)、量或關(guān)系的增加。英語句子中,將比較兩個主體的方法叫做“比較句型”。其中,像“A比B更……”的表達(dá)方式稱為比較級。組成句子的方式是將形容詞或副詞變化成比較級的形態(tài)。
比較級什么時候用more什么時候加er
按照比較級的構(gòu)成規(guī)則,一般在詞尾加“er”表達(dá)比較級的是:單音節(jié)形容詞和部分雙音節(jié)詞(大多是以y、ly、er、ow、ble結(jié)尾的雙音節(jié)形容詞);而多音節(jié)詞(三音節(jié)及以上)和部分雙音節(jié)詞,則會在詞前加“more”。
英語比較級和最高級的用法
一、形容詞、副詞的比較級和最高級的構(gòu)成規(guī)則
1.一般單音節(jié)詞和少數(shù)以-er,-ow結(jié)尾的雙音節(jié)詞,比較級在后面加-er,最高級在后面加-est;
(1)單音節(jié)詞
如:small→smaller→smallest short→shorter→shortest
tall→taller→tallest great→greater→greatest
(2)雙音節(jié)詞
如:clever→cleverer→cleverest narrow→narrower→narrowest
2.以不發(fā)音e結(jié)尾的單音節(jié)詞,比較在原級后加-r,最高級在原級后加-st;
如:large→larger→largest nice→nicer→nicest able→abler→ablest
3.在重讀閉音節(jié)(即:輔音+元音+輔音)中,先雙寫末尾的輔音字母,比較級加-er,最高級加-est;
如:big→bigger→biggest hot→hotter→hottest fat→fatter→fattest
4.以“輔音字母+y”結(jié)尾的雙音節(jié)詞, 把y改為i,比較級加-er,最高級加-est;
如:easy→easier→easiest heavy→heavier→heaviest
busy→busier→busiest happy→happier→happiest
5.其他雙音節(jié)詞和多音節(jié)詞,比較級在前面加more,最高級在前面加most;
如:beautiful→more beautiful→most beautiful
different→more different→most different
easily→more easily→most easily
注意:(1)形容詞最高級前通常必須用定冠詞 the,副詞最高級前可不用。
例句: The Sahara is the biggest desert in the world.
(2) 形容詞most前面沒有the,不表示最高級的含義,只表示"非常"。
It is a most important problem.
=It is a very important problem.
6.有少數(shù)形容詞、副詞的比較級和最高級是不規(guī)則的,必須熟記。
如:good→better→best well→better→best
bad→worse→worst ill→worse→worst
old→older/elder→oldest/eldest
many/much→more→most little→less→least
far →further/farther→ furthest/farthest
二、形容詞、副詞的比較級和最高級的用法
1.“A + be +形容詞比較級 + than + B” 意思為“A比B更……”。
如:This tree is taller than that one. 這棵樹比那棵樹高。
注意:
① 在含有連詞than的比較級中,前后的比較對象必須是同一范疇,即同類事物之間的比較。
②在比較級前面使用much,表示程度程度“強(qiáng)得多”。
如:A watermelon is much bigger than an apple.
③ very, quite一般只能修飾原級,不能修飾比較級。
2.“比較級 + and + 比較級”或“more and more +原級”表示“越來越……”
如:It becomes warmer and warmer when spring comes.
春天來了,天氣變得越來越暖和了。

4. “the +比較級……, the+比較級”,表示“越……越……”。
The more money you make, the more you spend.
錢你賺得越多,花得越多。

如:Asia is four times as large as Europe.
亞洲是歐洲的四倍大。(亞洲比歐洲大三倍)
③. A is …times larger /higher/longer/wider than B.
如:Our school is twice bigger than yours.
我們學(xué)校比你們學(xué)校大兩倍。
6.形容詞、副詞的最高級形式主要用來表示三者或三者以上人或事物的比較,表示“最……”的意思。
句子中有表示范圍的詞或短語。如:of the three, in our class等等。
如:He is the tallest in our class.
