原级以字母e结尾, 只加-r和-st
fine---finer---finest;
原级以辅音字母+y结尾, 将y改为i再加-er和-est
dry---drier---driest
原级以重读闭音节结尾,且末尾只有一个辅音字母, 双写这个辅音字母后再加-er和-est
big---bigger---biggest
thin---thinner---thinner
双音节词
其前加more和most

1.极限意义形容词无比较级:complete, double, square, alive, asleep, aloud, awake, alone, correct, right, wrong, enough, fearless, favorite, excellent, perfect, total, foreign, main, superior,inferior,senior,junior, prior等。其中superior,inferior,senior,junior, prior本身就是比较形式,不能再加more或-er,必须与to连用。

2.不能使用双重比较级:不能说more better,most earliest等,不过可以用“比较级+and+比较级”形式:
---I’m getting fatter and fatter.
---We’re walking more and more slowly.
3.当特指两者中“较/更…”时,比较级前常用定冠词;形容词的最高级要用the,副词的最高级可以省略the。
---This book is the more useful of the two.
4.“the+比较级,the+比较级”,表示“越…越…”
---The more, the better.
---The more dangerous it is, the more I like it.

(四)几个重要的比较结构:
1.as…as“与…一样”:as+形容词/副词原级+as+名词/代词/从句(否定句中也可用so…as)意思明确时,可省略第二个as及其后的内容:
---He studies as hard as his brother.
---This dress is twice as expensive as that one.
---I gave him as much as he could eat.
有些as…as已成固定词组
as…as possible/sb. can, as/so long as, as soon as, as well as, as/so far as (sb see/know/be concerned),
as good as The noise of my motorbike is as good as silent.
2. more than: (数量)多于…;不只是;非常---That is more than I can tell. 那事我实在不明白。
more…than…比…更…; 与其…不如… ---He is more a teacher than a writer.
not more than: 不超过(at most) ---He has not more than three children. 他最多三个孩子。

④be rather…than… She was rather frightened than hurt.
⑤be…rather than…She was frightened rather than hurt.
3. 与其…不如…(动词的比较)
prefer sth to sth
prefer doing sth to doing sth
prefer to do sth rather than do sth
would do sth rather than do sth
would rather do sth than do sth
4. 一…就…no sooner…than…
We had no sooner started work than it began to rain.
No sooner had we started work than it began to rain.
=We had hardly started work when it began to rain.
Hardly had we started work when it began to rain.
5. 不同范围和同一范围的比较
同一范围:more than ①any other +n单数
②any +n单数 else
③any/all of the other +n复数
④any/all of the others
不同范围:more than ①any +n单数
②any/all of the +n复数
6. 最高级+ever = never+比较级
This is the best film I have ever seen.
= I have never seen a better film.
7. 倍数的表达
①倍数+as+形容词/副词原级+as (可从第二个as开始省略)
②倍数+形容词/副词比较级+than
③倍数+the+名词+of (常用名词:size/length/height/width/weight/depth)
This ball is twice as big as that one.
= This ball is twice bigger than that one.
= This ball is twice the size of that one.
☆在少数情况下还可用“倍数+what从句”表示倍数:
The production of cars in 1994 was six times what it was in 1987.
☆若表示几倍多,在倍数前加more than/over
☆若表示一个半,可用:one and a half +名词(复)或one+名词(单)+and a half
一个半小时:one and a half hours/one hour and a half
