I am sorry, I'm busy now. 对不起,我现在很忙。 Have you got everything ready for the meeting? 你为这次会议做好准备吗? 形容词在句中的位置:
形容词作定语一般放在被修饰的名词之前。如果有两个或两个以上的形容词修饰一个名词时, 则由它们和被修饰的名词之间的密切程度而定, 越密切的形容词越靠近名词。如果几个形容词的密切程度差不多则按音节少的形容词放在前面, 音节多的形容词放在后面。 英语单词中,something, anything, nothing 等不定代词被形容词修饰时,形容词放在名词后面。
例如:I have something important to tell you. 我有重要的事要告诉你。
Is there anything interesting in the film? 电影里有什么有趣的内容吗? There is nothing dangerous here. 这儿一点都不危险。
由两个或两个以上的词组成的形容词词组修饰名词时须放在名词之后。 例如:This is the book easy to read. 这是一本容易读的书。
用 and 或 or 连接起来的两个形容词作定语时一般把它们放在被修饰的名词后面。起进一步解释的作用。
Everybody, man and woman, old and young, should attend the meeting. 每一个人,男女老少,都应该参加会议。
You can take any box away, big or small. 这些箱子,不管大小,你都可以拿走。
形容词的比较级和最高级:
绝大多数形容词有三种形式,原级,比较级和最高级, 以表示形容词说明的性质在程度上的不同。
形容词的原级: 形容词的原级形式就是词典中出现的形容词的原形。
例如: poor, tall, great, glad, bad
形容词的比较级和最高级: 形容词的比较级和最高级形式是在形容词的原级形式的基础上变化的。 分为规则变化和不规则变化。 规则变化如下:
1) 单音节形容词的比较级和最高级形式是在词尾加 -er 和 -est 构成。 例如:great (原级) greater(比较级) greatest(最高级)
2) 以 -e 结尾的单音节形容词的比较级和最高级是在词尾加 -r 和 -st 构成。 例如:wide (原级) wider (比较级) widest (最高级)
3)少数以-y, -er, -ow, -ble结尾的双音节形容词的比较级和最高级是在词尾加 -er 和 -est 构成。
例如:clever(原级) cleverer(比较级) cleverest(最高级)
4) 以 -y 结尾,但 -y 前是辅音字母的形容词的比较级和最高级是把 -y 去掉,加上 -ier 和-est 构成.
例如:happy (原形) happier (比较级) happiest (最高级)
5) 以一个辅音字母结尾其前面的元音字母发短元音的形容词的比较级和最高级是双写该辅音字母然后再加 -er和-est。
例如:big (原级) bigger (比较级) biggest (最高级)
6) 双音节和多音节形容词的比较级和最高级需用more 和 most 加在形容词前面来构成。
例如:beautiful (原级) difficult (原级)
31
more beautiful (比较级) more difficult (比较级) most beautiful (最高级) most difficult (最高级)
常用的不规则变化的形容词的比较级和最高级: 原级 比较级 最高级 good better best many more most much more most bad worse worst little less least ill worse worst
far farther(further) farthest(furthest) 形容词前如加 less 和 lest 则表示\较不\和\最不\ important 重要
less important 较不重要 lest important 最不重要 形容词比较级的用法:
形容词的比较级用于两个人或事物的比较,其结构形式如下: 主语+谓语(系动词)+ 形容词比较级+than+ 对比成分。 也就是, 含有形容词比较级的主句+than+从句。注意从句常常省去意义上和主句相同的部分, 而只剩下对比的成分。 Our teacher is taller than we are. 我们老师的个子比我们的高。 It is warmer today than it was yesterday. 今天的天气比昨天暖和。
This picture is more beautiful than that one. 这张照片比那张照片漂亮。 This meeting is less important than that one. 这次会议不如那次会议重要。 The sun is much bigger than the moon. 太阳比月亮大得多。 形容词最高级的用法:
形容词最高级用于两个以上的人和物进行比较, 其结构形式为:
主语+谓语(系动词)+the+形容词最高级+名词+表示范围的短语或从句。 She is the best student in her class. 她是班上最好的学生。
Shanghai is one of the biggest cities in China.上海是中国最大城市之一。 This is the biggest apple I have ever met. 这是我见到的最大的苹果。
Tom is the tallest boy in his basketball team. 汤姆是他们篮球队中个子最高的孩子。 有关形容词的几个特殊用法:
1. most 同形容词连用而不用 the,表示 \极,很,非常, 十分\。 例如:It's most dangerous to be here. 在这儿太危险。
I can’t do it, it's most difficult. 我干不了这件事,太难了。 2. \形容词比较级..., the+形容词比较级...\表示 \越... 就越...\。
例如:The more you study, the more you know. 你学的越多, 就知道的越多。 The more I have, the more I want. 我越有就越想要有。 The more, the better. 越多越好。
3. \形容词比较级 + and + 形容词比较级 \表示 \越来越... \。 例如:It's getting hotter and hotter.天气越来越热了.
It's pity he is getting poorer and poorer. 真可怜他越来越穷了。 The computer is cheaper and cheaper. 计算机越来越便宜。
The more and more people focus on the meeting next year. 越来越多的人关注明年的会议。
32
4. 主语+谓语(系动词)+as+形容词原形+as+从句。表示两者对比相同。 例如:This box is as big as mine. 这个盒子和我的一样大。
This coat is as cheap as that one. 这件衣服同那件衣服一样便宜。 I study English as hard as my brother.我同我兄弟一样学习努力。
