英语比较级和最高级

英语形容词比较级和最高级

(一)一般句式的构成：A + is / are+ 形容词比较级+ than + B

A 是主格

B 是宾格

如：She is taller than me.

（二）英语形容词比较级的构成

英语形容词比较等级有三个：原级，比较级和最高级。

形容词比较等级形式变化有规则的和不规则的两种。

规则变化

1）To form the comparative, -er is added to one-syllable adjevtives

单音节词末尾加-er（比较级），-est（最高级）

【例】原级比较级最高级

great greater greatest

small smaller smallest

clean cleaner cleanest

2）For one-syllable adjectives that end in –e, only –r is added.

单音节如以e结尾，只加-r（比较级），-st（最高级）

【例】fine finer finest

nice nicer nicest

wide wider widest

3）For one-syllable adjectives that end with a single consonant preceded by a single vowel, the final consonant is doubled, and –er is added.

闭音节单音节词如末尾只有一个辅音字母，须先双写这个辅音字母，再加-er（比较级），-est （最高级）

【例】big bigger biggest

hot hotter hottest

red redder reddest

4）少数以-y，-er，ow，-ble结尾的双音节词，末尾加-er（比较级），-est（最高级）。以-y 结尾的词，如-y前是辅音字母，则变y为-i，再加-er和-est。以-e结尾的词只加-r和-st。【例】clever cleverer cleverest

narrow narrower narrowest

able abler ablest

easy easier easiest

friendly friendlier friendliest

5）其它双音节和多音节词皆在前面加单词more和most。

【例】careful more careful most careful

difficult more difficult most difficult

delicious more delicious most delicious

不规则变化

原级比较级最高级

good/well better best

bad worse worst

many/much more most

little less least

far farther/further farthest/furthest

注：有些形容词一般没有比较等级。如：right, wrong, woolen等。

形容词的比较等级的用法：比较级用于二者的比较。

【例】Li Ping is older than Wang Hai. 李平比王海年纪大。

There are more students in Class One than in Class Two.一班比二班学生多。
