形 容 词
用来修饰名词,表示人或事物的性质、状态和特征的词,叫形容词。本节主要讲解:形容词的作用、位置、形容词表示类别和整体、比较级和最高级、常见形容词的辨析。
1.形容词的作用,见下表:
作 用
例 句
定 语
You can see a lot of beautiful flowers in the garden.
表 语
Your coat is too small.
宾语补足语
The old woman keeps everything clean and tidy.
注意:有些形容词只能作表语,如:alone, afraid, asleep 等。例如:
Don't wake the sleeping baby up. He is asleep.The old man is alone.
2. 形容词的位置
(1)作定语时放在名词的前面如:a big wheel一个大木轮
(2)作表语时放在连系动词之后。如:The price sounds reasonable.(这个价格听起来算是合理)
(3)作宾语补足语时放在宾语之后。如:We must try our best to keep our environment clean.(我们必须尽力保持我们的环境清洁)
(4)多个形容词做定语时排列的先后顺序是:冠词或人称代词 → 数词 → 性质→ 大小 →形状 →表示老少,新旧 → 颜色 →事务、质地、人的国籍、用途。
例如:
His grandpa still lives in this small short house.他爷爷还住在这个矮小的房子里。
The woman bought two beautiful Chinese plates.那个妇女买了两个漂亮的中国盘子。
(3)形容词用来修饰something, anything, nothing, everything等不定代词,要放在这些词的后面。例如:
You'd better tell us something interesting.
The police found nothing strange in the room.
3. 用形容词表示类别和整体
(1)某些形容词加上定冠词可以泛指一类人,与谓语动词的复数连接,相当于把形容词名词化。这类词有:rich / poor; good / bad ; young / old ; healthy / ill ; living / dead ; black / white如:the dead,the living,the rich,the poor,the blind,the hungry
The young should take good care of the old.年轻人应该好好照顾老人。
The rich never help the poor in this country.在这个国家,富人从来不帮助穷人。
(2)有关国家和民族的形容词加上定冠词指这个民族的整体,与动词的复数连用。
the British,the English,the French,the Chinese.
The English have wonderful sense of humor.
4. 形容词原级、比较级、最高级
(1)分类:形容词和副词有原级、比较级和最高级三级。原级变为比较级和最高级有规则变化和不规则变化两种。
规则变化:
① 单音节或双音节的形容词(或副词)比较级+er最高级+est small-smaller-smallest等
②以e结尾的词,比较级+r,最高级+st即可nice-nicer-nicest
③以辅音字母+y结尾的,变y为i+er或est easy-easier-easiest
④双写最后一个辅音字母+er或est hot-hotter-hottest
一些双音节及多音节形容词或副词前要加more和most,如:
difficult - more difficult - most
difficult
不规则变化:
原级
比较级
最高级
good好的
better更好的
best最好的
well好;(身体)好的,
bad,badly糟糕的,糟糕地
worse更糟糕的,更糟糕地;(身体)更不舒服的
worst最糟糕的,最糟糕地;(身体)最不舒服的
ill(身体)不舒服的
many许多的(可数)
more更多的;更
most最多的;最
much许多的(不可数);非常
little少的
less更少的
least最少的
far远的;远地
farther更远的;更远地
farthest最远的;最远地
further进一步的(地)
furthest最深刻的(地)
(2)形容词的原级、比较级和最高级的用法:
讲述某人/物自身的情况时,用原级。基本句型是:
主语(sb./sth) + 谓语动词 + (very/too/so/quite/rather…) + 形容词/副词原级 +….
如:He is very old now.(他现在很老了) / They ran quite fast.(它们跑得相当快) / The weather looks rather bad.(天气看上去相当糟) / I am so happy!(我是如此的快乐)
表示两者之间没有差别时,使用句型:
主语(第一个人物) + 谓语动词 + as + 形容词/副词原级 + as + 第二个人物 +….
如:He is as excited as his younger sister.(他和他妹妹一样兴奋)/ Lily rode her bike as slowly as an old lady.(莉莉骑车像老太太一样慢)/ They picked as many apples as the farmers (did).(他们摘的苹果和农民一样多)
表示第一个人比不上第二个人时,使用句型:
主语(第一个人物) + 谓语动词(否定式) + as / so + 形容词/副词原级 + as + 第二个人物+….
如:He is not so / as excited as his younger sister.(他没他妹妹那么兴奋) / Lily did not ride her bike so / as slowly as an old lady. (莉莉骑车不像老太太那样慢) / They didn’t pick so / as many apples as the farmers (did). (他们摘的苹果不如农民多)
讲述两者有差异,第一个人物超过第二个人物时,用比较级。基本句型:
主语+谓语动词+(much/a little/even/still)+形容词/副词比较级+than+第二个人物(‘B’)+….
如:A modern train is much faster than a car.(现代的火车比轿车快多了) / This book didn’t cost me more than that one.(这本书花费我的钱不比那本多)
讲述两者有差异,第一个人物不及第二个人物时,用比较级。句型是:
主语+ 谓语动词 + less+ (多音节形/副)比较级 + than + 第二个人物(‘B’) +….
如:I think English is less difficult than maths.(我认为英语不比数学难)/ Do you think it less important to learn a foreign language?(你认为学外语不那么重要吗?)
讲述某人/物是一群之中最突出的一个时,用最高级。句型是:
主语(sb./sth) + 谓语动词 +(the) +形容词/副词最高级 +in / of ….
如:The Changjiang River is the longest in China.(长江是中国最长的河流) / He jumped (the) highest of the three (boys).(三个男生中他跳得最高)
重要注释:
①以上六个句型中,如果动词是及物或不及物动词,则后面用副词;如果后面是连系动词,则后面用形容词。如:This car is the fastest of the four.(形容词)(这辆汽车是四辆之中最快的)/ This car runs (the) fastest of the four.(副词)(这辆汽车是四辆之中跑得最快的)
②“比较级+and+比较级”表示“越来越……”。如:The weather is getting warmer and warmer.(天越来越温暖了)
③“the+比较级…,the+比较级…”表示“越…就越…”。如:The more trees we plant,the better it will be.(我们栽的树越多,情况就会越好)/ The harder you try,the greater your progress is.(你越是努力,进步就越大)
④一般的形容词或副词的比较级前面可以加much/a little/even/still,而表示数量的more之前还可以加some/ any/ no/ one/ two/ many/ several/ a lot等词。如:It is much colder today than yesterday.(今天比昨天冷多了)/ Would you like some more coffee?(你还要些咖啡吗?)/He did not eat any more.(他没有再吃)
⑤more than / less than分别可以理解为“多于/少于”,相当于副词,more than=over; less than=under.如:I lived in New York for more than four months.(我在纽约生活了四个多月)
⑥“one of the +最高级+名词(复数)”整个短语为单数含义,谓语要用单数形式。如:One of the oldest houses has been burnt in a fire.(最古老的一幢房子在一场大火中被烧毁了)
⑦“Which / Who+动词+形/副比较级,□,□or□?”句型中,如果有两个选项,形/副用比较级,如果有三个选项,形/副用最高级。如:Who has more books, Lin Tao or Han Mei?(林涛和韩梅谁的书最多?)/ Which is the heaviest,a pig,a horse or an elephant?(猪、马、象哪个最重?)
