7 形容詞與副詞的比較級(jí)
大多數(shù)形容詞（性質(zhì)形容詞）和副詞有比較級(jí)和級(jí)的變化，即原級(jí)、比較級(jí)和級(jí)，用來(lái)表示事物的等級(jí)差別。原級(jí)即形容詞的原形，比較級(jí)和級(jí)有規(guī)則變化和不規(guī)則變化兩種。
1） 規(guī)則變化
單音節(jié)詞和少數(shù)雙音節(jié)詞，加詞尾-er，-est來(lái)構(gòu)成比較級(jí)和級(jí)。
8 as + 形容詞或副詞原級(jí) + as
1）在否定句或疑問(wèn)句中可用so… as。
He cannot run so/as fast as you.
2）當(dāng)as… as 中間有名詞時(shí)采用以下格式。
as +形容詞+ a +單數(shù)名詞
as + many/much +名詞
This is as good an example as the other is.

3）用表示倍數(shù)的詞或其他程度副詞做修飾語(yǔ)時(shí)，放在as的前面。

3）要注意對(duì)應(yīng)句型，遵循前后一致的原則。
