形容词在句子中的用途和位置主要包括
形容词和副词可以用在两者之间或三者及以上的比较,称比较级和最高级形式。形容词和副词常见的比较级和最高级变化规则有
比较下面句子中的形容词。
I am taller than Jim and I am the tallest boy in our class.
我比吉姆高,而且我是我们班最高的男生。
My pie is not big enough. I’d like a bigger one. Which is the biggest one here?
我的馅饼不够大。我想要一个更大的。这里最大的馅饼是哪一个?
注意
① 三个及以上形容词同时作定语修饰名词时,一般情况下,排列顺序为
限定词(冠词、指示代词、物主代词、数词等)+表示观点的描述性形容词+形状、大小、长短、高低+年龄、新旧+颜色+国籍、地区+物质材料+中心词。
例如:
three big red apples三个大红苹果
a graceful old Chinese lady一位优雅的中国老太太
my beautiful new Chinese silk dress我那漂亮的新的中式丝裙
an expensive new Japanese sports car一辆昂贵的新日本跑车
记忆口诀:县官袁大老,救红中木牌。(谐音:县指限定词;官谐音观,指观点描述形容词;袁谐音圆,指各种形状;大即尺寸大小;老即年龄老小;救谐音旧,即新旧;红指各种颜色;中即中国,指国家和地区;木指各种材料;牌指所描述的物品)
② 形容词作定语,通常放在所修饰的名词或代词前,但是也有一些特殊的定语后置情况。
③ 有的形容词仅作定语,有的形容词仅作表语,有的形容词两者皆可。
④ 形容词和副词的最高级形式通常前面加定冠词the。例如:
She is the tallest girl in our class. 她是我们班最高的女孩。
This book is the heaviest one in the library. 这本书是这个图书馆里最重的。
