5. 形容詞比較級與最高級有關句型
1)as +形容詞詞原級+ as(和...一樣); not +as/so ++形容詞詞原級+ as(不如,不及)Tom is as tall as John.
Mary is not so/as tall as Tom.
◆ 注意 :as…as 句型可與表示重量、時間、距離、數量、價格等名詞連用,構成形容詞詞組,表示“重達……,長達……, 多達……,”等。例:
This tree is as tall as 10 meters.
The winter comes as early as October.
2) 形容詞比較級+than,表示“比…更…”
This room is larger than that one.
A. 比較級前可加下列程度副詞:even, a lot, a bit, a little, still, much, far, yet, by far 等。但by far一般用于強調最高級。用于比較級時通常放在比較級后面,如放在前面,應在兩者中間加the.。例:
He is taller by far than his brother.
He is by far the taller of the two brothers.
He works even harder than before.
B. 某些以-or結尾的形容詞(如:superior, junior, senior等) 進行比較時,用to代替than.。但在superior前的程度副詞,只能用far。例:
He is far superior to Jane in English.
C. 為了避免重復,比較從句中常用that (those), one (ones), 代替前面出現的名詞。That 指物, 代替單數可數名詞和不可數名詞,one 既可指物又可指人,只能代替可數名詞。例:
The book on the table is more interesting than that on the desk.
A box made of iron is stronger than one made of wood.
D. more…than…可以表示“與其說…不如說,不是…而是“。例:
He was more angry than disappointed.他沒有失望,只是感到憤怒。
He was more of an artist than a teacher. 與其說他是個教師,不如說他是個藝術家。
3)too + 形容詞(或副詞)+ to do 表示“太…以致不能…”,含否定意義。
例:He is too young to go to school..= He is so young that he couldn’t go to school
4) the same as…, the same + 名詞+ 表示“與…相同,與…一樣。例:
Today’s typewriter keyboard is the same as Shole’s 1867 key-board..
I want the same shirt as my friend is wearing.
5) The +比較級+ 主語+謂語, the +比較級+ 主語+謂語,表示“越…越, 愈…愈”
The more you argue with him, the less notice he takes.

副詞可分為時間副詞(ago, before, just now, last night, lately, recently, so far, then等)、頻度副詞(always, usually, often, occasionally, sometimes, once, ever, hardly, ever, rarely, seldom 等)、地點副詞(abroad, ahead, any/some/ every/ else -where, away, downstairs, downtown, halfway, here, home, indoors, nearby, next door, overseas, there, underground, upstairs, south/north/east/west-ward)、程度副詞(too, exactly, hardly, greatly, so, little, much, rather, partly, nearly, awfully, just, completely, almost, thoroughly, slightly等)、方式副詞(fast, quickly, politely, rapidly, perfectly, badly等)、邏輯連接副詞(however, otherwise, nevertheless, altogether, still, thus, furthermore, moreover, anyway等)和句子副詞(frankly, naturally, surprisingly, honestly, of course, fortunately, ironically, luckily, unexpectedly 等)。
