副词的比较级和最高级
副词比较等级的构成方法
一、加后缀-er和-est构成
单音节和个别双音节副词加后缀 –er和-est构成比较级和最高级。如:
原级 比较级 最高级
high(高) higher highest
soon(快) sooner soonest
early(早) earlier earliest
【注】有关将y改为i,再加-er和-est的规则以及双写末尾辅音字母的规则,参见形容
词比较等级的构成方法。
二、在其前加more和most构成
绝大多数双音节副词和所有的多音节副词其前more和most构成比较级和最高级。如:
原级 比较级 最高级
bravely(勇敢地) more bravely most bravely
heavily(重重地) more heavily most heavily
carefully(仔细地) more carefully most carefully
【注】有的双音节副词(如often, seldom等)可以有两种方式构成比较等级。如:
often—more often / oftener—most often / oftenest。’
