有一个规则必须注意，我们不能将more和er混在一起用，以下的例子都是错的：

＊HeismoreolderthanI.

＊Heismoretallerthanhisbrother.

正确的句子是：

HeisolderthanI.

Heistallerthanhisbrother.

形容词比较级或最高级的特殊形式：1.三个或三个以上音节的形容词只能加more和most只能说morebeautiful而不能说beautifuller;只能说themostbeautiful而不能说beautifullest。但是，以形容前缀un结尾的三音节形容词不适合上述情况，如unhappy,untidy，我们可以说：unhappier→unhappiest,untidier→untidiest2.由ING分词和ED分词演变过来的形容词(包括不规则动词如know→known)只能加more或most来表示它们的比较级和最高级more(most)striking,more(most)interesting,more(most)wounded,more(most)worn等。3.英语里有些形容词由于其词义而不可能有比较级形式absolutefatalmainrightuniversalchieffinalnakedsimulta-utterentireforemostperfectneousvitaleternalinevitablepossiblesufficientwholeexcellentinfiniteprimarysupremewooden形容词与副词比较级的基本用法一、原级比较的基本用法1.原级比较由“as＋形容词或副词(或再加名词或短语)＋as”构成“原级相同”比较句，表示两者比较；其否定式，即“程度不及”比较句型为“notso(as)＋形容词或副词＋as”，而且as…as结构前可用just,almost,nearly,quite等表示程度的词修饰1)Walkingbrisklyforthirtyminuteswillburnasmanycaloriesas.〔A〕torunforfifteenminutes〔B〕runningforfifteenminutes〔C〕yourunforfifteenminutes〔D〕fifteenminutewalking2)Thegorilla(大猩猩)，while〔A〕notquiteascuriousthan〔B〕thechimpanzee(黑猩猩)，showsmorepersistence〔C〕andmemoryretention(记忆力)insolving〔D〕aproblem.3)Alaskaistwice〔A〕aslarger〔B〕as〔C〕thenextlargest〔D〕state，Texas.2.“as(so)＋名词＋as＋名词”进行名词比较，这时一般情况下有一个表示原级的比较词，但如果第一名词前出现了形容词修饰该词或出现副词修饰谓语，应当用so而不用as4)ThomasJefferson’sachievementsasanarchitectrivalhiscontributionsapolitician.〔A〕such〔B〕more〔C〕as〔D〕than5)IshouldsayHenryisnotmuchawriterasareporter.(88年考题)〔A〕that〔B〕so〔C〕this〔D〕as二、比较级1.比较级由“形容词(副词)比较级＋than＋…，”构成表示在两者中间一方比另一方“更加…”。连词than后可接句子，也可接名词、代词、名词短语、介词短语、动词、动词不定式、ING结构和ED结构，有时也可省去than。6)Naturalmica(云母)of〔A〕asuperior〔B〕qualityischeapest〔C〕toobtainthansynthetic〔D〕mica.7)Sheisolderthan.〔A〕anyothergirlinthegroup〔B〕anygirlinthegroup〔C〕allgirlsinthegroup〔D〕youandmeaswellasthegroup8)JosephineMcCrackinjoined〔A〕the“SantaCruzSentinel”in1905and，untilherdeathfifteenyearslate〔B〕，remained〔C〕activeinjournalistic〔D〕work.2.注意than前后两项相比较的人或事物要一致9)Thepurposeoftheresearchhadamoreimportantmeaningforthemthan.〔A〕ours〔B〕withus〔C〕foroursithad〔D〕itdidforus10)Soundtravelsair.〔A〕fasterthroughwaterthanthrough〔B〕fasterthanthroughwaterand〔C〕throughwaterfasterand〔D〕whereitisfasterthroughwaterthanthrough11)GerbrandvondenFeckhout，oneofRembrand’spupils，followed〔A〕thestyleofhisteachersoimplicitlythat〔B〕hispaintings〔C〕aresometimesconfusedwithhismaster〔D〕
