Positive:
(1), as+ +as (adjective / adverb positive negative sentences with not so... "As"), as:
He, is, as, tall, as, Tom
(2), "as+ adjective primary +a/an+ singular noun +as" or "as+many/much+ +as", such as:
This, is, as, good, an, example, as, the, one, other
(3) "multiples +as+adj.+as" = "multiples +the"... "+of", such as:
This, bridge, is, three, times, as, long, as, one, that
=this, bridge, is, three, times, the, length, of, one, that
Adjectives are commonly used in the following sentences:
Normally, we use the "comparative +than" to draw the second part of the comparison.
"Less+ +than (the primary structure for monosyllabic words), such as:
The, book, is, less, interesting, than, that, one
"Multiples + +than", such as:
The, box, is, three, times, bigger, than, that, one
We use the structure of "comparative +and+ comparatives" to indicate a change in the degree of a person or thing itself:
The, boys, are, stronger, and, stronger
"The+ comparison, the + comparison" means "more."... Yue... Such as:
The, more, the, better
"The+ comparison, +of, the, two+, noun, plural," such as:
My, brother, is, the, taller, of, the, two, boys.
We use "which"... 1 comparison,... Or... ...? A sentence pattern indicating the choice between the two:
Which, is, bigger, the, sun, or, the, moon
We can add a, little, much, even and so on to express the degree before comparison. Such as:
China, is, much, larger, than, Japan
The superlative adjectives are commonly found in the following sentences:
We use the structure of the adjective, the principal pronoun, the superlative level to indicate the "most" of someone or thing... Such as:
Peter, is, his, oldest, son
Note: at this point, the adjective "the" is not required before the superlative point of the adjective
We use the structure of "the+ superlative + range" to represent "within a certain range"... "" prepositions "of" and "among" followed by the person or thing that represents the scope,
followed by in followed by a range of nouns or noun phrases. Such as:
I, am, the, tallest, of/among, the, three
Russia, is, the, largest, country, in, the, world
We use ordinal numbers to modify the superlative of adjectives, such as:
In, the, USA, the, third, largest, city, is, Angeles, Los
"One of the+ superlative + plural noun" means "the most."... One of, as:
He, is, one, of, the, tallest, boys, in, class, our
Considerations for grading usage:
Be aware of the consistency of objects, such as:
My computer is more expensive than his:
My, computer, is, more, expensive, than, hers
A word that has itself been compared; usually not used in comparison; as in example:
Which, do, you, prefer, tea, or, coffee?
The law of the use of definite articles in the comparative stage.
The articles are usually not used before comparison, but sometimes they are used mainly in the following situations"
(1) when a noun is accepted after comparison, the definite article "the" may be used before comparison. At this time, the definite article is not modified or comparative, but modified. Such as:
Which, is, the, largest, country, Canada, or, Australia?
(2) to refer to, in particular, in the two......" Before the comparative level, the definite article is usually taken. At this point, the relative noun or pronoun one is omitted. The definite article is actually used to modify the noun or pronoun one that is omitted. Such as:
This, dictionary, is, the, more, useful, of, the, two
Rule of the use of the superlative article:
(1) there is usually the before the superlative adjectives
This, is, the, best, room, in, the, hotel
(2), when the superlative adjective verb (especially in which) and compared with the range of the, sometimes (especially informal occasions), can be omitted, such as:
This dictionary is (the) best
However, when the most advanced in predicative position
compared with or with a limited range of modifiers, the former is the
This, dictionary, is, the, best, I, could, find
(3) the may be omitted before an adverb is superlative, for example:
Among, them, he, studies (the) hardest
Common modifiers of the comparative and superlative levels:
(1) the common modifiers of the comparison are: far, even, still, a, lot, lots, a, great, deal, a, bit, rather, three, times, any, no, much, and so on:
This, pair, of, shoes, is, much, better
(2) the most common modifiers of the highest level are: (by) far, nearly, almost, not, quite, by, no, means, very, second, etc.:
He, is, nearly, the, tallest, boy, in, our, School
Transformation of the comparative and superlative levels:
(1) common sentence patterns which can be converted to the highest level:
Comparative class +than+the, other+, plural noun
The comparative class +than+the, rest, of+, plural nouns
The comparative class +than+any, of, the, other+, plural nouns
The comparative +than+any other+ singular nouns (both parties belong to the same category or within the same range, i.e., "one within the same scope" is more than any other... ""
The comparative +than+any+ singular nouns (the two parties are not in the same category or within the same range),
It means that "one person in different scopes is more than any other."... ()) as:
She, goes, to, school, earlier, than, the, others, girls.
He, works, harder, than, any, other, student
(2) Comparative +than+anything/anyone else"
George, did, more, work, than, anyone, else
(3) use no, nobody, nothing and other words in comparative sentence patterns
