同学们,上一期我们讲解了形容词的比较级,相信大家对比较级一定有了一些认识。这次,让我们再来说一说副词的比较级。 首先,我们要弄清什么是副词,简单地说,副词就是形容动词的词,如carefully, quietly等等。英语中许多词既是副词又是形容词,要视具体上下文判断,也要注意积累,如:hard,early等。它们在句中位置不同,如:
She came back in the early morning.(形容词)
He often goes to school early.(副词)
Give it a hard push, then it will move.(形容词)
She’sworking hard.(副词)
副词比较级形式的变化与形容词大致相同,但以后缀-ly结尾的副词须用more。如:
hard harder
fastfaster
early earlier
carefullymore carefully
注:early末尾的 ly并非后缀,故其比较级不用more。
下列副词的比较级为不规则变化:
well better
badlyworse
muchmore
far father (更远的,进一步的)further (更远的, 更多的, 深一层的)
另外,比较级的否定形式与一般陈述句的否定形式一样,其结构是not as+原级+as,如:
Jim is not as strong as the other boys. 吉姆不如其他男孩强壮。
