形容词原级的用法

英文中形容词有三个比较等级，原级，比较级，最高级：

形容词规则变化一

形容词的比较级和最高级有规则变化和不规则变化。

单音节和一些双音节形容词加er或est或它们的变体构成比较级和最高级。

形容词规则变化二

两个音节的形容词有以下三种情况：

1.两个音节的形容词字尾为y时加-er, -est如y前是子音字母则变

2.有些形容词如pleasant, handsome, common, polite, quiet, stupid

3.其它的两音节形容词都是在字前加more, most。

三个或更多音节形容词有两种情形：

1.原为加-er, -est的两音节形容词?o加了前缀而变成三音节后?o依

2.其余一律在字前加more, most。

形容词不规则变化

形容词的比较级和最高级不按一定的规则变化。

形容词比较级用法之一

1. 表示"比...更"，用比较级+than+比较成分，表示前者"超过"后者。than后的述语动词往往省略，非正式用法的than后的可用受格。

2. 否定的比较级表示"较...低；不及..."，用less+原级形容词+than+比较成分，表示前者不及后者。
