  今天介绍的是形容词Adjectives。所有的内容将以英文进行,不会提供中文说明。

  Grammar Is Great

  Added Extra

  Sometimes a noun on its own just doesn’t give you enough detail-you want to add information. To add information to a noun, you use a word called an‘adjective’. Think of it as an added extra describe thenoun.


  Using Adjectives

  Suppose you have to describe a building, and you want to tell people what the building is like – you’ll need to use adjective. You must describe an old,ruined building, or a scary, abandoned building. ‘old’, ‘ruined’, ‘scary’ and‘abandoned’ are adjectives.


  Grammar Guidance. An adjective goes before the noun it is describing,like this:


  a blue moon

  a gorgeous girl

  a grumpy teacher

  the top floor

  an ugly bug.

  Small, Smaller,Smallest…

  Some adjective can be used to make a comparison.There are two kinds-a ‘comparative‘ one and a 'superlative' one. Use the comparative when you compare two things, for example:

  My pudding is smaller than yours.

  A comparative adjective always goes hand in hand with ‘than’. You should use a superlative adjective when you are comparing several things, as in:

  My pudding is smallest out of three.


  Here are some more examples:

  Adjective

  Comparative

  Superlative

  small

  smaller

  smallest

  big

  bigger

  biggest

  large

  larger

  largest

  narrow

  narrower

  narrowest

  pale

  paler

  palest

  rich

  richer

  richest

  easy

  easier

  easiest

  Grammar Guidance. Adjective that have more than two syllable, such as ‘beautiful’ and ‘popular’, do not follow the same rule.For example, there’s no such thing as ‘beautifuller’ and ‘beautifullest’. For these adjectives, you should always use the words ‘more’ and ‘than’ to make your comparison. For example:

  Your painting is more beautiful than mine.

  To make the superlative, you should use ‘most’:

  Your painting is the most beautiful out of everyone’s.

  This rule also works for any adjective ending in‘-ous’, ‘-ing’ or ‘-ed’, such as ‘famous’, ‘boring’ or ‘excited’.

  Rule-Breakers

  Lastly, there are a few adjectives which break all the rules. Here are a few examples:
