(二)英语形容词比较级的构成
英语形容词比较等级有三个:原级,比较级和最高级。
形容词比较等级形式变化有规则的和不规则的两种。

单音节词末尾加-er(比较级),-est(最高级)
【例】原级 比较级 最高级
great greater greatest
small smaller smallest

单音节如以e结尾,只加-r(比较级),-st(最高级)
【例】fine finer finest
nice nicer nicest
widewider widest
3)For one-syllable adjectives that end with a singleconsonant preceded by a single vowel, the finalconsonant is doubled, and –er is added.
闭音节单音节词如末尾只有一个辅音字母,须先双写这个辅音字母,再加-er(比较级),-est(最高级)
【例】big bigger biggest

4)少数以-y,-er,ow,-ble结尾的双音节词,末尾加-er(比较级),-est(最高级)。以-y结尾的词,如-y前是辅音字母,则变y为-i,再加-er和-est。以-e结尾的词只加-r和-st。
