用法:
比较级
表示两者(人或事物) 的比较。
eg. I am taller than Tom.
My dress is more beautiful
than hers.
最高级
表示三者或三者以上(人或事物) 的比较, 其中有一个在某一方面超过其他几个时, 用最高级。最高级的前面一般要加定冠词-the, 后面可带 of ( in )短语来说明比较的范围。
. She is the youngest in the class.
Jason is the tallest of the three.
Whose handwriting is the best of
all?
在形容词比较级前还可用much, even, still, a little来修饰, 表示“…的多”, “甚至…”, “更…”, “…一些”。
. This city is much more beautiful
than before.
She’s a little more outgoing than me.
It’s a little colder today.
“比较级+and+比较级”意为“越来越…”。多音节比较级用“more and more+形容词原级”形式。

The group became more and more
popular.
