形容词与副词
1. 形容词与副词的位置和作用。
2. 形容词和副词的比较级和最高级的句型和用法。
【知识总结归纳】
(一)形容词的位置和用法:
1. 形容词修饰名词在句中:放在名词前面做名词的定语;放在系动词后面作表语;放在宾语后面做宾语补足语。
例句:
(1)My mother is a kind and hard-working woman.
(2)Is there anything important in today’s newspaper ?
(3)The workers wanted to make it clear to the public that they were doing an important job.
2. well ; ill ; 以及某些以a为词首的形容词,如:afraid ; alike ; alone ; asleep ; awake等词只能做表语。
例句:
He was so tired and sleepy that he fell asleep as soon as he lay on the bed. 3. 以ly为后缀的某些词是形容词而不是副词;如:friendly ; lively ; lovely ; likely ; deadly ; silly等。
4. 多个形容词修饰名词时,一般按以下顺序排列:
限定词(the, a )+描绘性形容词+size(大小)+shape(形状)+age(年龄;时间)+color(颜色)+origin(国籍;来源)+material(材料)+purpose(目的)+名词
例:
my small brown leather bag
those large round black wooden tables the little pink plastic ball a large diplomatic reception 5. 常见的形容词的构词:
(1)以-ful ; -sive ; -tive ; -ish ; -less ; -able等为后缀的形容词:
例:careful ; useful ; expensive ; creative ; effective ; homeless ; harmless ; foolish ; childish ; acceptable ; remarkable ; responsible
(2)由两个单词构成的复合形容词: 形容词+形容词:red-hot ; dark-blue
形容词+动词ing形式/ed形式:good-looking ; ordinary-looking ; new-born ;
man-made ;
hard-working
形容词+名词:first-class ; second-hand ; warm-hearted
名词+动词ing / ed形式: peace-loving ; mouth-watering ; snow-covered 数词+名词ed:a four-storeyed building ; a three-legged chair 数词+名词:a ten-year-old boy ; a two-week holiday
(二)副词的位置和用法: 1. 位置:副词修饰动词时一般位于动词或动词短语之后。修饰形容词时位于形容词之前。 例句:
He is driving carefully along the highway. You are absolutely right.
2. 副词in ; out ; on ; back ; down ; off ; away ; here ; there位于句首时,后面的句子用倒装语序。
例句:
Here comes the bus.
3 修饰形容词或副词比较级的常用副词有:many, a few (many more/ a few more); much ; a lot ; a little ; a bit ; far;
例句:
(1)It takes many more hours to go there by train than by plane. (2)This morning he got up even earlier than yesterday.
4. 修饰最高级的副词:the very ; by far ; the first ; the second 例句:

在高考试题中,对于比较级的考察除了要求考生掌握有关句型以外,还要根据句中的语境来判断比较级的用法。同时注意掌握同义,近义形容词或副词的意义及其它们的差别。
