以上我们已经通过归纳总结和练习对 本课的语法内容有了一定的了解, 下 面就让我们根据之前练习的考察情况 进一步选择讲解该语法项的重难点。

形容词比较级Ⅱ 复习形容词比较级的规则变化 tall→taller long→longer 以字母e结尾的词，在 fine→finer late→later 单音节 词尾加-r 和部分 重读闭音节词且词尾 big→bigger 双音节 只有一个辅音字母， thin→thinner 双写辅音字母再加-er 词 以“辅音字母 + y”结 easy→easier 尾的双音节词，先把 friendly→friendl “y”改为“i”再加-er ier 一般在词尾加-er

多音节词和部分双音节词在词前加 more outgoing→more outgoing beautiful→more beautiful 2) 一些不规则变化： good/well→better； bad/badly→worse； many/much→more； little → less far→farther/further

副词的基本用法 一般说来，副词主要用来修饰动词、形 容词和副词。例如： She plays the piano badly. 她钢琴弹得很糟。 I’m really tired after last night’s tennis match. 昨晚的网球赛后我真的很累。 The teacher speaks very slowly and carefully. 这位老师讲得很慢、很仔细。

注意副词与形容词在位置及功能上 的不同，试比较： The teacher speaks carefully. 这位老师讲得很仔细。 The teacher is careful. 这位老师很细心。 She is a hard-working student. 她是一名学习努力的学生。

副词 修饰动词时通常出现在行为 动词（实义动词）之后 形容词通常位于系动词之后或名词 之前 另外，有许多副词是由形容词+ly构成 的，如： careful (a. )+ ly carefully quick (a. ) + ly quickly

safe (a. ) + ly safely busy (a. ) + ly busily heavy (a. ) + ly heavily 注意： 注意 有些词既可作形容词也可作副词， 如fast, early, late等

副词比较级和形容词比较级的变化形式大 致相同，也分为规则变化和不规则变化两 种。例如： We are training harder because we want to win. 我们训练得更刻苦，因为我们想要获胜。 This year we are training more carefully. 今年我们训练得更认真了。 Sam did better this year than last year. 萨姆今年做得比去年好。

“the +比较级， the + 比较级”是 比较级表达中的一个固定句式， 表示“越……，越……”。例如： The more carefully you drive, the safer it is. 开车越小心就越安全。
