Joe Sanders has the most beautiful garden in our town. Nearly everybody enters for 'The Nicest petition' each year, but Joe wins every time. Bill Frith's garden is larger than Joe's. Bill works harder than Joe and grows more flowers and vegetables, but Joe's garden is more interesting. He has made neat paths and has built a wooden bridge over a pool. I like gardens too, but I do not like hard work. Every year I enter for the petition too, and I always win a little prize for the worst garden in the town!
比较级和最高级的构成
1)穿鞋式——
单音节形容词的比较级和最高级形式是在词尾加-er 和-est 构成:
great (原级) greater(比较级) greatest(最高级)
以不发音-e 结尾的单音节形容词的比较级和最高级是在词尾加-r 和-st 构成: large(原级) larger(比较级) largest (最高级)
少数以-y, -er, -ow, -ble结尾的双音节形容词的比较级和最高级是在词尾加-er 和-est 构成:
clever(原级) cleverer(比较级) cleverest(最高级)
④以-y 结尾,但-y 前是辅音字母的形容词的比较级和最高级是把-y 变i,加上-er 和-est构成.
happy (原形) happier (比较级) happiest (最高级)
⑤以一个辅音字母结尾,其前面的元音字母发短元音的形容词的比较级和最高级,是双写该辅音字母然后再加-er和-est。
big (原级) bigger (比较级) biggest (最高级)
戴帽式——词前另加most(用于多音节或其他双音节形容词或副词)
特殊式——表示好、坏、多、少、远、年长几个特殊词汇
good / well ---better---best
ill /bad/badly--- worse---worst
many / much ---more---most
little ---less ---least
far---farther---farthest far---further---furthest
……大 old---older---oldest old---elder---eldest
最高级的注意事项:
最高级可被序数词或 much,far(much的跟屁虫)by far,nearly,almost,by no means,not quite,not really,nothing like,(rather不能修饰最高级)等词语所修饰.
This hat is by far/much/nearly/almost/not nearly/by no means/not quite/nothing like the biggest.
How much did the second most expensive hat cost?
表示“最高程度”的形容词,如 excellent,extreme,perfect等,没有最高级,也不能用比较级.
形容词最高级修饰作表语或介词宾语的名词、代词时,被修饰的词往往省略.
He is the tallest(boy) in his class.
比较级的基本句型
原级比较
由“...as + 形容词+ as...”或“...as + 形容词+ 名词+ as...”构成。
