形容词、副词及其用法

一、形容词及其用法
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
1.      直接说明事物的性质或特征的形容词是性质形容词,它有级的变化,可以用程度副词修饰,在句中可作定语、表语和补语。例如:hot 热的
 
2.叙述形容词只能作表语,所以又称为表语形容词。这类形容词没有级的变化,也不可用程度副词修饰。大多数以a开头的形容词都属于这一类。例如:afraid 害怕的
(错) He is an ill man.         (对) The man is ill.
(错) She is an afraid girl.      (对) The girl is afraid.
 这类词还有: well,unwell(不舒服的,有病的),ill,faint(模糊的,衰弱的),afraid,alike,alive,alone,asleep,awake 等。
 
3.形容词作定语修饰名词时,要放在名词的前边。但是如果形容词修饰以-thing为字尾的词语时,要放在这些词之后,例如:something nice
 
4 以-ly结尾的形容词
1)大部分形容词加-ly可构成副词。但 friendly,deadly(致命的,极度的),lovely,lonely,likely,lively(活泼的),ugly,brotherly(亲切的,充满情意的),仍为形容词。
改错:(错) She sang lovely.      (错) He spoke to me very friendly.
(对) Her singing was lovely. (对) He spoke to me in a very friendly way.
2)有些以-ly 结尾既为形容词,也为副词
daily,weekly,monthly,yearly,early   
The Times is a daily paper.
The Times is published daily.
 
5. 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。如:the dead,the living,the rich,the poor,the blind, the hungry.
The poor are losing hope.
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.
 
6 多个形容词修饰名词的顺序
限定词 + 数量词 ( 序数词在前 , 基数词在后 ) + 性状形容词/描绘词+ 大小 、 长短 、 高低等形体 + 新旧 + 颜色 + 国籍 + 材料 + 名词 。
如 those + three + beautiful + large + square +old + brown+ wood + table 。
a small round table; a tall gray(灰白的) building; a dirty old brown shirt;  a famous German medical school; an expensive Japanese sports car
【典型例题】:
Tony is going camping with ___ boys. 
A. little two other B. two little other  C. two other little  D. little other two
【答案】C由"限定词--数词--描绘词--(大小,长短,形状,新旧,颜色) --性质--名词"的公式可知数词,描绘词,性质依次顺序,只有C符合答案。
 
 
二.副词及其基本用法
副词主要用来修饰动词,形容词,副词或其他结构
(一)副词的位置:
1.在动词之前。
2.在be动词、助动词之后。 
3.多个助动词时,副词一般放在第一个助动词后
【点拨】
a. 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。
We could see very clearly a strange light ahead of us.
 b. 方式副词well,badly糟、坏,hard 等只放在句尾
He speaks English well.
 
(二) 副词的排列顺序:
1. 时间,地点副词,小单位的在前,大单位在后。
2.方式副词,短的在前,长的在后,并用and或but等连词连接。
Please write slowly and carefully.
3.多个不同副词排列:程度+地点+方式+时间副词
【点拨】副词very 可以修饰形容词,但不能修饰动词。
 改错:(错) I very like English.  (对) I like English very much.
【点拨】副词enough要放在形容词的后面,形容词enough放在名词前后都可。
I don't know him well enough.
There is enough food for everyone to eat.
There is food enough for everyone to eat.
 
(三)兼有两种形式的副词
1 close与closely
close意思是"近"; closely 意思是"仔细地"
He is sitting close to me.
Watch him closely.
2. late 与lately
late意思是"晚"; lately 意思是"最近"
You have come too late.
What have you been doing lately?
3.deep与deeply
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"
He pushed the stick deep into the mud.
Even father was deeply moved by the film.
4.high与 highly
high表示空间高度;highly表示程度,相当于much
The plane was flying high.
I think highly of your opinion.
5.wide与widely
wide表示空间宽度;widely意思是"广泛地","在许多地方"
He opened the door wide.
English is widely used in the world.
6.free与freely
free的意思是"免费";freely 的意思是"无限制地"
You can eat free in my restaurant whenever you like.
You may speak freely; say what you like.
 
 
三 形容词与副词的比较级
(一) 基本构成 
大多数形容词(性质形容词)和副词有比较级和最高级的变化,即原级、比较级和最高级,用来表示事物的等级差别。原级即形容词的原形,比较级和最高级有规则变化和不规则变化两种。
1.规则变化
单音节词和少数双音节词,加词尾-er,-est来构成比较级和最高级
 构成法     原级     比较级   最高级  
一般单音节词   tall(高的)   taller   tallest
未尾加-er,-est    great(巨大的)  greater   greatest 
 
以不发音的e结尾 nice(好的)    nicer    nicest
的单音词和少数  large(大的)  larger     largest
以- le结尾的双    able(有能力的) abler   ablest
音节词只加-r,-st                 
 
以一个辅音字母   big(大的)   bigger  biggest
结尾的闭音节单   hot热的)   hotter   hottest
音节词,双写结
尾的辅音字母,
再加-er,-est                  
 
"以辅音字母+y"   easy(容易的)  easier   easiest
结尾的双音节词,  busy(忙的)   busier  busiest
改y为i,再加
-er,-est             
 
少数以-er,-ow   clever(聪明的)  cleverer   cleverest
结尾的双音节词   narrow(窄的)   narrower   narrowest
未尾加-er,-est                 
 
其他双音节词和 important(重要的)  more important     most important
多音节词,在前  easily(容易地)      more easily         most easily
面加more,most
 
2.不规则变化
   原级       比较级   最高级      
good(好的)/      better    best
well(健康的)                   
 
bad (坏的)/       worse     worst
ill(有病的)                    
 
old (老的)      older/elder oldest/eldest     
 
much/many(多的)   more     most     
 
little(少的)       less      least     
 
far (远的)          farther/further  farthest/furthest      
 
 
(二)几组常用比较等级句型
1. as + 形容词或副词原级 + as
1)在否定句或疑问句中可用so… as。
He cannot run so/as fast as you.
2)当as… as 中间有名词时采用以下格式。
as +形容词+ a +单数名词
as + many/much +名词
This is as good an example as the other is.
I can carry as much paper as you can.
3)用表示倍数的词或其他程度副词做修饰语时,放在as的前面
This room is twice as big as that one.
Your room is the same size as mine.  
4) 倍数+ as + adj. + as <=> 倍数+ the+n. + of
This bridge is three times as long as that one.
This bridge is three times the length of that one.
Your room is twice as large as mine.
Your room is twice the size of mine.
2. 比较级形容词或副词 + than
You are taller than I.
They lights in your room are as bright as those in mine.
【点拨】1)要避免重复使用比较级
 (错) He is more cleverer than his brother.   (对) He is more clever than his brother.
2)要避免将主语含在比较对象中
(错) China is larger than any country in Asia. (对) China is larger than any other countries in Asia.
3)要注意对应句型,遵循前后一致的原则。
The population of Shanghai is larger than that of Beijing.
It is easier to make a plan than to carry it out.
4)要注意冠词的使用,后有名词的时候,前面才有可能有冠词
比较:Which is larger, Canada or Australia?
Which is the larger country, Canada or Australia?
She is taller than her two sisters.
She is the taller of the two sisters.
 
(三)可修饰比较级的词
1)a bit, a little, rather, much, far, by far, many, a lot, lots, a great deal, any, still, even等。
2)还可以用表示倍数的词或度量名词作修饰语。
3)以上词(除by far)外,必须置于比较级形容词或副词的前面。
【典型例题】:   
---- Are you feeling ____? 
---- Yes,I'm fine now.
A. any well    B. any better    C. quite good     D. quite better  
【答案】B. any 可修饰比较级,quite修饰原级,well的比较级为better.
 
(四)几种比较等级的特殊用法
1.下列词和短语不用比较级形式却表示比较概念:
Inferior(劣等的,下等的), minor(较小的,次要的), senior, prior(先前的,优先的), prefer to, superior, major, junior(年少的,下级的), preferable(更好的,更优越的), differ from, compared with, in comparison with, different from, rather than.
 Their watch is_____ to all the other watches on the market.
A. superior     B. advantageous    C. super     D. beneficial
【答案】A
2.&ldquo;比较级+and +比较级&rdquo;或&ldquo;more and more/less and less +原级&rdquo;以及&ldquo;ever, steadily, daily等副词+比较级&rdquo;结构表示&ldquo;越来越&hellip;&hellip;&rdquo;的意思,与这类结构搭配的常用动词有grow, get ,become等。前面两种情况更多地出现在进行时态中,注意的是这三种情况引导的比较级后面都不需要用than
Things are getting worse and worse.
As I spoke to him he became less and less angry.
3. 有关比较级的特殊句型
not so much&hellip;as&hellip;与其说&hellip;&hellip;不如说&hellip;&hellip;
I am not so much as a teacher as a student.
与其说我是个老师,不如说我是个学生。
【典型例题】
The chief reason for the population growth isn&rsquo;t so much a rise in birth rates_____a fall in death rates as a result of improvements in medical care.
A. and              B.as           C.but             D. or
【答案】B句意:人口增长的主要原因与其说是因为出生率的提高,还不如说是因为医疗的进步带来的死亡率下降的结果
no/not any more&hellip;than&hellip;两者一样都不&hellip;&hellip;
【典型例题】
The heart is ______intelligent than the stomach, for they are both controlled by the brain.
A. not so     B. not much    C. much more     D.  no more
【答案】D句意:心脏和胃两者都不具有智力,他们都受大脑控制
no/not any less&hellip;than&hellip;两者一样,都&hellip;&hellip;
注意:基本上与no/not any more&hellip;than   两者都不&hellip;&hellip;
She is no less beautiful than her sister.    她和她姐姐一样漂亮
just as&hellip; so&hellip;     正如&hellip;&hellip;, &hellip;&hellip;也&hellip;&hellip;(用倒装结构)
【典型例题】
Just as the soil is a part of the earth,______the atmosphere.
A. as it is      B. the same is     C. so is        D. and so is
【答案】C
 
(五)最高级形式应注意的问题:
1.最高级比较范围用介词in, over, of, among
in, (all) over用于在某一范围内的比较,如:in China, all over the world.
of, among用于在同一群体内同类事物的比较,如:among the teachers, of the four dresses.
注意:among&hellip;相当于one of &hellip;,不说among all&hellip;。这一点考生应与汉语表达区别开来
【典型例题】
______all visible lights, red light has the longest and violet(紫外线) the shortest wavelength.
A.  Among         B  Of           C. For          D.To      
【答案】B
2.比较级形式表示最高级意义时,比较对象的范围应用:
any other +单数名词
the other +复数名词
the others
anyone/anything else
上述词是用来将比较级结构转变成最高级意义的关键词语,切不可遗漏,尤其是other,否则会造成逻辑混乱的错误。如不能说:John runs faster than anyone.注意与汉语表达的不同
 
(六)不用比较级和最高级的形容词
1.表示颜色的有:white, black
2.表示形态的有:round, square, oval(椭圆的), circular, triangular(三角形),level
3.表示性质和特征的有:atomic(原子的), economic, scientific, sonic, golden, silvery(似银的), woolen(毛纺的), earthen(土制的,陶制的), silent, full, empty, sure, dead, deaf, blind, lame(跛足的), rainy
4.表示状态作表语的有:afraid, asleep, alive, ashamed, alone, aware, alike
5.表示时间、空间和方位的有:daily, weekly, monthly, annual, present, front, back, forward, backward, east, west, south, north, left, right, final
6.表示极限、主次、等级的有:maximum, minimum, utmost(极度的,最远的), main, major, chief minor, superior, inferior, senior, junior, super, favorite
7.含有绝对概念的有:absolute, entire, whole, total, perfect, excellent, thorough(彻底的), complete.
 
(七)平行结构与比较级
平行结构很多情况下是由形容词或副词的比较级或者暗含比较意味的连词引导的
The ideal listener stays both inside and outside the music and enjoys it almost as much as the composer at the moment he composes.
大多数情况下平行结构都是具有一定的比较含义的,有的是递进对比not only&hellip;but (also) ;prefer&hellip;to&hellip;;rather than有的是同类对比:and ;but;or;both&hellip; and&hellip;;either&hellip;or&hellip;; neither&hellip;nor&hellip;..
平行结构复习时要注意以下几点:
1.注意比较结构中相比较的内容在语法形式上是否相同。
Despite the temporary difficulties, the manager prefers increasing the output to decreasing it.
【典型例题】
It is better to die one&rsquo;s feet than ______.
A. living on one&rsquo;s knees            B.live on one&rsquo;s knees
C. on one&rsquo;s knees                   D.to live on one&rsquo;s knees
【答案】D   宁可站着死,也不跪着活.
2.其他具有并列或比较意义的短语也可引导平行结构。
1)rather than, let alone(更不用说,何况) 虽不是并列连词,但在结构上连接两个语法形式相同的成分。
【典型例题】
We are taught that a business letter should be written in a formal style ____in a personal style.
A. rather than     B. other than       C. better than      D. less than
【答案】A
2)如果平行的两个成分在形式上是介词短语,而且介词相同,一般说来第二个介词不要省略。
At times, more care goes into the composition of newspaper and magazine advertisements than into the writing of the features and editorials(社论).
 
 
(八)、比较级中的常见词对比分析
1, many, old 和 far
 
1 ) 如果后接名词时, much more + 不可数名词, many more + 可数名词复数。
 
2 ) old 有两种比较级和最高级形式 : older/oldest 和 elder/eldest 。
elder 与 eldest 主要用于家人之间表明长幼关系。通常只用于人而不用于物,只用作定语而不用作表语,也不与 than 连用。例如:
My elder brother is an engineer. 我哥哥是个工程师。
Mary is the eldest of the three sisters. 玛丽是三姐妹中最大的。
但若不是用作形容词(即其后不接名词)而是用作名词,则可以用作表语(此时通常有冠词或物主代词修饰)。如:
Jim is my eldest. 吉姆是我最大的孩子。
He was the elder of the two sons. 他是两个儿子中较大的。
 
3 ) far 有两种比较级, farther , further 。一般 father 表示距离, further 表示进一步。例如 :
I have nothing further to say. 我没什么要说了。
 
2, the + 最高级 + 比较范围
1 ) 形容词最高级前通常必须用定冠词 the ,副词最高级前可不用。例如:
The Sahara is the biggest desert in the world. 撒哈拉沙漠是世界上最大的沙漠。
例如:
注意:使用最高级要注意将主语包括在比较范围内。
( 错 ) Tom is the tallest of his three brothers.
( 对 ) Tom is the tallest of the three brothers.
 
2) most可以用来修饰形容词或副词,形容词 most 前面没有 the ,不表示最高级的含义,只表示 " 非常 " 。用法区分单复数,但不能用定冠词the,如:a most interesting book, most expensive restaurants, 要注意与 &ldquo;the +形容词最高级+of + 名词&rdquo;的结构表示的最高级的区别,如:
He spoke in the warmest of voices
They have been most kind to me
Basketball is the most popular of sports in this country.
Chinese is the most difficult of language
Chinese is a most difficult language
 
3 ) 下列词可修饰最高级, by far, far, much, mostly, almost 。例如:
This hat is nearly / almost the biggest. 这帽子差不多是最大的了。
注意:
a. very 可修饰最高级,但位置与 much 不同。
This is the very best.
This is much the best.
b. 序数词通常只修饰最高级。例如:
Africa is the second largest continent. 非洲是第二大洲。
4 ) 最高级的意义有时可以用比较级表示出来。例如:
Mike is the most intelligent in his class. 马克是班上最聪明的。
Mike is more intelligent than any other students in his class.
5 ) " 否定词语 + 比较级 " , " 否定词语 + so &hellip; as" 结构也可以表示最高级含义。例如:
Nothing is so easy as this. 没比这更简单的了。
=Nothing is easier than this.
=This is the easiest thing.
 
3, 和 more 有关的词组,
1 ) the more &hellip; the more &hellip; 越 &hellip;&hellip; 就越 &hellip;&hellip; 。例如:
The harder you work , the greater progress you'll make. 越努力,进步越大。
 
2 ) more B than A=less A than B 与其说 A 不如说 B 。例如:
He is more lazy than slow at his work. = He is less slow than lazy at his work. 他工作时,与其说是反应慢不如说是懒。
 
3 ) no/ not any more &hellip; than &hellip; 与 &hellip;&hellip; 一样不 &hellip;&hellip; ,不比 &hellip;&hellip; 多。例如:
The heart is ______intelligent than the stomach, for they are both controlled by the brain.
A. not so     B. not much    C. much more     D.  no more
【答案】D句意:心脏和胃两者都不具有智力,他们都受大脑控制.
no less &hellip; than &hellip; 与 &hellip;&hellip; 一样 &hellip;&hellip; 。例如:
He is no less diligent than you. 他和你一样勤勉。
 
4 ) more than 不只是,非常。例如:
She is more than kind to us all. 她对我们非常热心。
典型例题
1 ) The weather in China is different from____.
A. in America B. one in America C. America D. that in America
答案 : D. 本题意为 " 中国的天气比美国热 。 " 比较的是天气而不是国家 , C 不能选 。 A 没有名
词 , 后句成分不全 , 排除 。 B 和 D 中 , B 中的 one 常用来代替可数名词 , 而 that 可车以代替
不可数或抽象名词,所以选 D 。
2 ) After the new technique was introduced , the factory produced ___ tractors in 1988 as the year before.
A. as twice many B. as many twice C. twice as many D. twice many as
答 案 C. 此句意为 " 这个 厂 198 8 能生产的拖拉机是往年的两倍 " 。 表示倍数用 " 倍数 + as + 形容词原形 + as + 比较对象 " 的句型。所以此句答案为 C 。
