| Question 36: What rules shall I apply when to change an adjective into its comparison form? Answer: The following rules generally apply to unequal comparative structures: 1). Add "-er" to the adjective base of most one- and two-syllable adjectives, e.g. thick--thicker; soon--sooner 2). Use the form "more + adjective" for most three-syllable adjectives, e.g. more beautiful; more important. 3). Use the form "more + adjective" for adjectives ending in the following suffixes: -ed, -ful, -ing, -ish, -ous; e.g. more useful; more boring; more cautious. 4). When adding "-er", double the final consonant of one-syllable adjectives which end in a single consonant (except w,x,z) and are preceded by a single vowel, e.g. big--bigger; hot--hotter. 5). When an adjective ends in a consonant with "y", change the "y" to "i" and add "-er", e.g. happy--happier; dry--drier. 问题36: 把一个形容词转化为其比较级的形式,有何规则可循? 回答: 把一个形容词转化为其比较级的形式,通常遵循以下规则: 1). 绝大多数单音节或双音节的形容词,直接在词尾加“-er”。 如:thick--thicker; soon--sooner 2). 绝大多数三个音节或以上的形容词,采用“more+adjecitve”的形式。 如:more beautiful; more important 3). 后缀为“-ed, -ful, -ing, -ish, -ous”的形容词,采用“more +adjective”的形式。 如:more useful; more boring; more cautious 4). 单个辅音字母结尾(除),并且该辅音前只有一个元音的单音节词,双写最后的辅音字母加“-er”。 如:big--bigger; hot--hotter 5). 以“y”结尾的形容词,去“y”变“i”然后加“-er”。 如:happy--happier; dry--drier |
