形容词的最高级:用于三个或三个以上的人或事物的比较,结构为:“the+形容词最高级+比较范围”,意为“最……”。
例:Tom is the youngest basketball player in our school. 汤姆是我们学校年龄最小的篮球运动员。
形容词最高级的变化规律:
1. 单音节形容词后面直接加-est
tall—tallest
fast—fastest
2. 以-e结尾的单音节形容词直接加-st
large—largest
nice—nicest
3. 以-y结尾的形容词,改-y为-i再加-est
busy—busiest
early—earliest
4. 形容词是重读闭音节时,双写最后的辅音字母,再加-est
hot—hottest
big—biggest
5. 多音节形容词前面直接加most
delicious—most delicious
beautiful—most beautiful
6. 不规则变化
good (well)—best
bad (badly)—worst
最高级的用法:①三者或三者以上相比,表示最高程度时,用“ the十最高级”的结构表示.这种句式一般常有表示比较范围的介词短语.例如:
Zhang Hua is the tallest of the three.
He works (the) hardest in his class.
②最高级可被序数词以及 much,by far,nearly,almost,by no means,not quite,not really,nothing like等词语所修饰. 例如:
This hat is by far/much/nearly/almost/not nearly/by no means/not quite/nothing like the biggest.
How much did the second most expensive hat coat?
③表示“最高程度”的形容词,如 excellent,extreme,perfect等,没有最高级,也不能用比较级.
④形容词最高级修饰作表语或介词宾语的名词、代词时,被修饰的词往往省略.例如:
He is the tallest(boy) in his class.
⑤作状语的副词最高级前可以不加定冠词.例如:
0f all the boys he came(the) earliest.
