语法 Grammar in use

形容词的比较级和最高级

(1)构成

A 大多数单音节形容词的比较级和最高级的构成是在其原级后面加上-er和-est：

small----smaller----smallest

new----newer----newest

B 许多单音节形容词只有一个元音字母，其末尾为一辅音字母。在比较级和最高级形式中，这个辅音字母要双写：

big----bigger----biggest

thin----thinner----thinnest

C 许多单音节形容词以-e结尾，如 nice。这些形容词只需在原级形式后加-r和-st：

large----larger----largest

nice----nicer----nicest

D 有些形容词以-y结尾，而在-y前是一个辅音字母。这些形容词一般有两个音节。变为比较级和最高级时，-y要变成-i，末尾再加-er和-est：

easy----easier----easiest

heavy----heavier----heaviest

E 但有少数形容词的比较级和最高级是不规则的，必须熟记，如：

good----better----best

bad----worse----worst

F 大多数较长的形容词(即有两个以上音节的词)可与more连用构成其比较级形式，与most连用构成其最高级形式。

(2)用法

比较级只用于两者之间，通常与than连用。形容词比较级之所指如果很清楚，它也可独立存在：

This coat is longer. 这件外衣较长。

最高级用于3者或3者以上。形容词的最高级在使用时必须加定冠词，并常伴有一个表示范围的介词短语或从句：

That girl is the tallest student in our class. 那位姑娘是班上个子最高的学生。

词汇学习 Word study

1.compare v.

比较，对照：

The article compares the different features of imported cars on the market. 这篇文章比较了市场上进口汽车的不同特点。

Compared to our little garden, his garden seemed like a park.

与我们的花园相比，他的花园就像是一个公园。

2.suit v.

(1)适合;适宜于：

Finding a place that suits us all is very difficult. 找到一个适合于我们所有人的地方是很困难的。

'One o'clock? That does not suit me.' “1点钟?那个时间对我来说不合适。”

(2)相称，相当：
