比较级用于二者的比较。
【例】
Li Ping is older than Wang Hai. 李平比王海年纪大。
There are more students in ClassA than in ClassB.一班比二班学生多。
He hasmore money than me.
二、形容词各等级的用法:
1、 原级(同级)比较:
as…[adj/adv]as…;
not as(so)…....as…
He writes aswell as I.
She looksasbeautifulasher sister.
They wereas careful as the boys.
They didtheir homework as carefully as the girls.
We’ll give you asmuch help as we can.
Sheisn’t as(so)active in sports asbefore.
2. 比较级:表示两者之间比…… 更……可用状语much, a little,even等修饰:
He is even/much stronger than his elderbrother.
Thisroomis much brighter thanours.
Thisflower is much more beautiful than that type/kind ofroses.
Thiscountry is even richer than Germany.
Hemade fewer mistakes than I did.
Heis even richer than I.
This roomismore brighter than ours.×

3、高级:形容词最高级前必须加the,副词最高级前常省略the,后面多用of……, in……短语表示范围:
Itwas the most/least interesting story I have everlistened.
Heis the tallest of the three.
4、如果在两者之间表示“最……”时要在比较级前加the,而且还用ofthe two, of the pair短语:
Johnis the cleverer of the two boys.
Ofthe two boys, John is the cleverer.
三、重点与难点:
1、as…as…结构:你和汤姆是一样好的孩子。
as表示“像……一样”,引导比较状语从句,对主句和从句的动作或状态加以比较,说明它们之间有相似之处,在从句中常省略与主句相同的部分。例如:
Hedoesn't work as hard as I (do). 他不像我工作那样努力。
Ihope the necklace was as good as the one you lentme.我希望我挂项链同你借给我的一样好。
用于as...as...或not so/as...as...中,前一个as是副词,后一个as是连词,引导比较状语从句。如:
They helped the old man as often as possible.
I don't speak English so/ as well as he does.
You’re a boy asgood as Tom.
=You’re as good aboy as Tom.
2、 (1)too…to与 so…thatsb.can’t…的句型转换:前者为简单句,主语只有一个,而后者为复合句,主语有两个,试比较:
The man was too angry to be able to speak.
The man was so angry that he wasn’t able to speak.
The milk was too hot to drink.
The milk was so hot that we can’t drink it.
(2) too…to…与 not enough to句型的转换:

The book is too difficult for me to read.=
The book is not easy enough for me to read.
3、 形容词原级表示比较级含义:
约翰不象迈克那么苯。John is not so stupid as Mike.
John is less stupid than Mike.
John is cleverer than Mike.
4、 用比较级表示最高级:约翰是班里最高的男生。
John is taller than any other boy in the class.
John is the tallest boy in the class.
John is taller than :any other boy.
any of the other boy.
all the other boy.
any of the others.
any one else.
5、 the more….. the more….表示“越……越……”:
The more books you read, the wider your knowledge is.
The more food you eat, the fatter you are.
6、 more and more….表示“越来……越……”:
More and more students realized the importance of a foreignlanguage.
Our country is getting stronger and stronger.

第二部分形容词比较级和最高级
绝大多数形容词有三种形式,原级,比较级和最高级,以表示形容词说明的性质在程度上的不同。
形容词的原级: 形容词的原级形式就是词典中出现的形容词的原形。 例如: poor tall great gladbad
形容词的比较级和最高级: 形容词的比较级和最高级形式是在形容词的原级形式的基础上变化的。分为规则变化和不规则变化。
规则变化如下:
1) 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)(比较级)(最高级)
2) 以 -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。
wide(原级)(比较级)(最高级)
3)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)(比较级)(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 去掉,加上 -ier 和-est 构成.
happy(原形)(比较级)(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)(比较级)(最高级)
6)双音节和多音节形容词的比较级和最高级需用more 和 most 加在形容词前面来构成。
beautiful(原级)?(比较级)(最高级)
difficult (原级)(比较级)
(最高级)
常用的不规则变化的形容词的比较级和最高级:
原级------比较级------最高级
good------better------best
many------more------most
much------more------most
bad------worse------worst
far----farther,further---farthest, furthest
形容词前如加 less 和 least 则表示"较不"和"最不"
important 重要 less important 较不重要 least important 最不重要
形容词比较级的用法:
形容词的比较级用于两个人或事物的比较,其结构形式如下:
主语+谓语(系动词)+ 形容词比较级+than+ 对比成分。 也就是,含有形容词比较级的主句+than+从句。注意从句常常省去意义上和主句相同的部分, 而只剩下对比的成分。
Our teacheriswe are. 我们老师的个子比我们的高。

This pictureisthan that one. 这张照片比那张照片漂亮。
This meetingisthan that one. 这次会议不如那次会议重要。
The sunisthan the moon. 太阳比月亮大得多。
形容词最高级的用法:
形容词最高级用于两个以上的人和物进行比较, 其结构形式为:
主语+谓语(系动词)+the+形容词最高级+名词+表示范围的短语或从句。
Sheisstudenther class. 她是班上最好的学生。
