大多数形容词（性质形容词）和副词有比较级和最高级的变化，即原级、比较级和最高级， 用来表示事物的等级差别。原级即形容词的原形，比较级和最高级有规则变化和不规则变化两种。 1) 规则变化
单音节词和少数双音节词，加词尾-er，-est来构成比较级和最高级。
构成法 原级 比较级 taller greater 最高级 tallest greatest 一般单音节词未tall(高的) 尾加-er,-est great(巨大的) 以不发音的e结nice(好的) 尾以- le结尾的large(大的) 双 able（有能力的) 音节词只加-r,-st 以一个辅音字母 结尾的闭音节单big(大的) 音节词，双写结尾hot(热的) 的辅音字母， 再加-er，-est \以辅音字母+y\结尾的双音节nicer Larger abler nicest largest ablest bigger hotter biggest hottest easy(容易的) 词， busy(忙改y为i，再加 的) pretty(漂-er，-est 亮的) ( but: shy-shyer-shyest) easier busier prettier easiest Busiest prettiest 少数以-er，clever(聪明的) cleverer -ow,-n结尾的双narrow(窄的) narrower 音节词 common(普通的) commoner 未尾加-er，-est 其他双音节词和多音节词，在前面important(重要加more，most的) 来构成比较级和easily(容易地) 最高级。
2) 不规则变化
原级 good(好的)/ well(健康的) bad (坏的)/ill(有病的) old (老的) 比较级 better worse older/elder cleverest narrowest commonest more most important important more easily most easily 最高级 best worst oldest/eldest most least much/many(多 more 的) little(少的) less far (远的) farther/further farthest/furthest
【口诀记忆】不规则形容词、副词的比较级最高级形式：
合二为一有三对， “病坏”“两多”并“两好”； 一分为二有两个， 一个“远”来一个“老”。 还有一词双含义， 只记“少”来别记“小”。 注意:old 和 far
1.farther较远的，表具体概念（只指距离） further进一步，表抽象概念（距离和时间） Have you got any further news? 2. later, latest表“时间”迟 latter, last表“顺序”后
the former前者 the latter后者
3. older, oldest表年龄大小，可作定语、表语；还可指物“旧的”
elder,eldest表长幼关系，只作定语（只指人），不能与than连用构成比较级。
My elder bother is older than you.
old 有两种比较级和最高级形式: older/oldest 和elder/eldest。 elder，eldest 只用于兄弟姐妹的长幼关系。
My elder brother is an engineer.
Mary is the eldest of the three sisters.
far 有两种比较级，farther，further. 在英语中两者都可指距离。 在美语中，father 表示距离，further表示进一步。 I have nothing further to say.
