形容词与副词的比较级、最高级用法讲练(二)
可修饰比较级的词 2)还可以用表示倍数的词或度量名词作修饰语。 3)以上词(除by far)外,必须置于比较级形容词或副词的前面。 many,old 和far 1)如果后接名词时,much more +不可数名词 many more +可数名词复数 2)old 有两种比较级和最高级形式:older/oldest 和elder/eldest. elder,eldest 只用于兄弟姐妹的长幼关系。 My elder brother is an engineer. Mary is the eldest of the three sisters. 3)far 有两种比较级,farther,further. 在英语中两者都可指距离。 在美语中,father 表示距离,further表示进一步。 I have nothing further to say. the + 最高级 + 比较范围 1)The Sahara is the biggest desert in the world. 形容词最高级前通常必须用定冠词 the,副词最高级前可不用。 形容词most前面没有the,不表示最高级的含义,只表示“非常”。 It is a most important problem. =It is a very important problem. 注意:使用最高级要注意将主语包括在比较范围内。 (错)Tom is the tallest of his three brothers. (对)Tom is the tallest of the three brothers. 2)下列词可修饰最高级,by far,far,much,mostly,almost This hat is nearly / almost the biggest. 注意: a. very可修饰最高级,但位置与much不同。 This is the very best. This is much the best. b. 序数词通常只修饰最高级。 Africa is the second largest continent. 3)句型转换: Mike is the most intelligent in his class. Mike is more intelligent than any other students in his class. 4)“否定词语+比较级”,“否定词语+ so… as”结构表示最高级含义。 Nothing is so easy as this. =Nothing is easier than this. =This is the easiest thing. |
