I cant hear you. 请大声一点儿，我听不见你说话。Step 8 Grammar 形容词及副词对于形容词及副词，我们主要驾驭两点，一是形容词及副词的句法功能，二是形容词及副词的比拟级和最高级。1. 形容词的句法功能一般来说，形容词可以放在名词之前作定语，也可以放在系动词之后作表语，还可以作宾语补足语等。例如：Did you see that old photograph that I found? Its a lovely picture.你看见我找到的那张老照片了吗？画面真美。(定语)They were very nice. 他们很友善。(表语)Peoples lives seem busy now. 如今人们的生活好像很劳碌。(表语)We must keep our classroom clean and tidy.我们必需保持教室干净整齐。(宾语补足语)形容词作定语一般都是放在名词之前，但是假如修饰的是不定代词something, anything, nothing, somebody, anybody, nobody等，就要放在后面。例如：Is there anything special in the paper today? 今日报纸上有什么特殊的新闻吗？I didnt find anything funny about it. 我觉得这事一点儿都不行笑。There is nothing new in the store. 商店里没有什么新东西。许多副词都以-ly结尾，但是“名词+ly”的词则多为形容词，如：weekly, friendly等，应留意区分。例如：A friendly voice answered the phone. 接 的是一个友好的声音。2. 副词的句法功能副词一般用作状语，修饰动词、形容词、副词以及全句，表示程度、方式等。例如：They speak highly of you.他们对你的评价很高。We were very lucky to find you here.我们很幸运在这里找到了你。The spring passed too quickly.春天过得太快了。Hopefully, well meet again on Friday.盼望我们星期五再见面。3. 形容词及副词的比拟级和最高级就形容词、副词的比拟级和最高级而言，一是要驾驭比拟级和最高级的构成，二是要驾驭比拟级句型。1) 比拟级的句型 (1) 比拟级+than，表示“比更”e.g. Health is more important than wealth. 安康比财宝更重要。 He got up earlier than I did this morning. 今日早上他起得比我早。(2) 比拟级+ and+比拟级，表示“越来越”。e.g. The story gets more and more exciting. 故事变得越来越激烈人心。 Our lives are getting better and better. 我们的生活越来越好。(3) The+比拟级，the+比拟级，表示 “越，越”e.g. The more time you spend on it, the greater progress you will make.你在这上面花的时间越多，你的进步就会越大。The more he talked, the more excited he grew. 他越说越激烈。同级比拟一般采纳as.as句型，否认句可以用not so / as表示。e.g. He is as tall as his father. 他和父亲一样高。 I get up not so early as you. 我不如你起得早。2) 最高级的表达方式 (1) the+ 最高级+ of/ine.g. Jim is the tallest of the three. 吉姆是三人中最高的。 He is the most diligent student in his class. 他是班上最勤奋的学生。(2) 选择疑问句e.g. Who is the tallest, Tom, Jack or Bill? 汤姆、杰克和比尔，谁个子最高？(3) the+最高级+定语从句e.g. It is the most interesting book I have ever read. 这是我所读过的最好玩的一本书。3) 比拟级和最高级的修饰语比拟级和最高级的修饰语应置于其所修饰的形容词或副词之前。常见的比 较级修饰语有much, still, a lot, even, far等。e.g. He worked much harder then. 那时他工作要努力得多。常见的最高级修饰语有almost, by far, far, much等。e.g. This is by far the most expensive bag in the shop.这是目前这家商店里最贵的包。Step 9 Exercises1.
