一、概念:形容词修饰名词,说明事物或人的性质或特征。通常,可将形容词分成性质形容词和叙述形容词两类,其位置不一定都放在名词前面。
二、使用形容词的注意事项:
1. 大部分形容词加-ly可构成副词。但friendly,deadly,lovely,lonely,likely,lively,ugly,brotherly,仍为形容词。
2. 有些以-ly 结尾既为形容词,也为副词。daily,weekly,monthly,yearly,early
3. 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。如:the dead,the living,the rich,the poor,the blind,the hungry
4. 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.
5. 多个形容词修饰名词的顺序
限定词--数词--描绘词--(大小,长短,形状,新旧,颜色) --出处--材料性质,类别--名词。
副词
一、概念:副词主要用来修饰动词,形容词,副词或其他结构。
副词的种类有频度副词、方式副词、地点副词及时间副词等。
二、使用副词的注意事项:
a) 副词的位置:在动词之前。在be动词、助动词之后。多个助动词时,副词一般放在第一个助动词后。(大多数方式副词位于句尾,但宾语过长,副词可以提前,以使句子平衡。方式副词well(好),badly(糟)、,hard(坏)等只放在句尾。
b) 副词的排列顺序:时间,地点副词,小单位的在前,大单位在后。方式副词,短的在前,长的在后,并用and或but等连词连接。多个不同副词排列:程度+地点+方式+时间副词。
c) 注意:副词very 可以修饰形容词,但不能修饰动词。副词enough要放在形容词的后面,形容词enough放在名词前后都可。
d) 有些副词有两种形式,但是意义不同:
close意思是"近"; closely 意思是"仔细地"
late意思是"晚"; lately 意思是"最近"
deep意思是"深",表示空间深度;deeply时常表示感情上的深度,"深深地"
wide表示空间宽度;widely意思是"广泛地","在许多地方"
high表示空间高度;highly表示程度,相当于much
free的意思是"免费";freely 的意思是"无限制地"
形容词与副词对比及比较级最高级
一、形容词与副词比较级和最高级变化规则
形容词和副词的比较级和最高级的构成方法完全相同。.
1. 单音节词和少数双音节词,比较级加词尾-er,最高级加-est来构成比较级和最高级。
一般单音节词 tall ,taller ,tallest ; hard,harder , hardest
以不发音的e结尾 nice ,nicer,nicest;
2. 以一个辅音字母结尾的闭音节,变比较级双写词尾再加er,变最高级加est 。
如:big,bigger,biggest; fast,faster,fastest
3."以辅音字母+y" 结尾的双音节词先改y为i,比较级加er ,最高级加est
如:easy , easier ;easiest , early , earlier ; earliest
3.其他双音节词和多音节词,在前面加more,most
如: important , more important; most important, happily ,more happily, most happily
4.不规则变化:要逐个记
good/ well; better,best bad/ ill; worse,worst much / many; more,most little ; less,least
old ,older, oldest或 elder(年长的) eldest(最年长的)
far, farther ,farthest 或further (进一步地), furthest(最大成度地)
二、可修饰比较级的词
a bit, a little, rather, much, far, by far, many, a lot, lots, a great deal, any, still, even等
还可以用表示倍数的词或度量名词作修饰语。以上词(除by far)外,必须置于比较级形容词或副词的前面。
