写文章的时候
如果用一些比较级和最高级的句子
就会让文章显得更成熟一些
虽然可能很多人觉着比较级和最高级和别的语法比起来算是简单的
但其实它们还是有很多易错的点
而且有许多种搭配方法
所以今天我们就通过语法书English Grammar in Use
还有Walden University的语法教学整理一下比较级和最高级的用法
一起来和我们学习吧!
比较级1
在比较级前面你可以用这些搭配
我们这里直接给出例句
&34;Let&39;s go by car. It&39;s much cheaper.&34;
&34;Don&39;t go by train. It&39;s a lot more expensive.&34;
&34;Could you speak a bit more slowly?&34;
&34;This bag is slightly heavier than the other one.&34;
&34;Her illness was far more serious than we thought at first.&34;
你还可以用any和no+比较级
比如下面这些例句
&34;Do you feel any better?&34;
&34;We expected their apartment to be very big, but it&39;s no bigger than ours.&34;
如果你想表达什么东西一直有变化
那么你可以用better and better(可用其他比较级替换)或者more and more
&34;Your English is getting better and better.&34;(英语一直有进步)
&34;The city has grown fast in recent years. It&39;s got bigger and bigger.&34;(城市变得越来越大)
&34;the...the...&34;是另一种固定搭配
你可以说&34;the (sooner/bigger/more etc.) the better&34;
比如&34;What time shall we leave?&34; &34;The sooner the better.&34; (越快越好)
或者用&34;the...the...&34;来表达一个事情依赖于另一个事情上
&34;The warmer the weather, the better I feel.&34;(天气越暖和我感觉越好,即我的感受取决于天气是否暖和)
比较级2
比较级除了最常见的than
还有一种标志是as...as
首先我们来看这种not as...(as)形式的句子
&34;Jack isn&39;t as old as he looks. &34;
&34;Jack年龄没有他看着大。&34;
它的潜意思就是Jack长得比实际年龄看着大
所以用than来重新写的话就是
Jack looks older than he is.
再来看个例句
&34;I don&39;t know as many people as you do.&34;
翻过来就是我没有你认识的人多
那用than重新写就是
You know more people than me.
Less...than和not as...as相似
比如&34;I spent less money than you.&34;
我比你花钱少
那么言下之意就是&34;I didn&39;t spend as much money as you.&34;
我没有像你花的那么多
在肯定句和疑问句里可以用as...as
&34;I got here as fast as I could.&34;
&34;Can you send me the information as soon as possible, please?&34;
&34;Petrol is twice as expensive as it was a few years ago.&34;
&34;Their house is about three times as big as ours.&34;
如果想说某个东西和另一个东西一样
用的不是the same like
而是the same as
&34;David is the same age as James&34;
最高级
比较级一般可以是-er/ier或者是more...
最高级也有两种基本模式
-est或者most...
和比较级一样短一点的词用-est
长的词(音节较多的词)用most...
常见的不规则最高级词有
good是best
bad是worst
far是furthest/farthest
old的最高级有两种
一种是oldest另一种是eldest
oldest可以用在各种情境下
但是eldest基本只用于指家庭成员
比如&34;My eldest son is 13 year old.&34;(这里也可以说是my oldest son)
&34;Are you the eldest in your family?&34;(或者the oldest)
在用了最高级后可以用”in+地方“
比如&34;What&39;s the longest river in the world?&34;
in还可以搭配组织或者群体(比如a class/a company)
&34;Who is the youngest in the class?&34;(而不是用of the class)
如果想表达时间,则可以用of
&34;Yesterday was the hottest of the year.&34;
&34;What was the happiest day of your life?&34;
最后在最高级后还经常用现在完成时
比如&34;What&39;s the most important decision you&39;ve ever had to make?&34;
&34;That was the best holiday I&39;ve had for a long time.&34;
