形容词比较级（1）英语中，当我们对两者进行比较时，如句中用的是形容词，我们需要用到形容词的比较级形式。一、形容词比较级的变化规律请根据以下例子，总结形容词比较级的规则变化规律。【例子】1.young→younger

tall→taller

short→shorter2.wide→wider

nice→nicer

late→later3.thin→thinner

fat→fatter

hot→hotter4.heavy→heavier

noisy→noisier

easy→easier【结论】从以上例子我们可以看出，形容词比较级的规则变化规律如下：1.一般在词尾直接加_____；2.以字母e结尾的形容词直接加_____；3.以重读闭音节结尾的形容词，如末尾只有一个辅音字母，应先______该字母,再加-er；4.以“辅音字母+y”结尾的形容词，先把y变成____，再加_____。-er-er

-r双写

i二、形容词的比较句式结构形容词的比较句式结构是什么呢？标志词语是什么？请仔细观察下面的例句，然后补全结论部分所缺的内容。【例句】1.Paulistallerthanhisbrother.2.Thismountainishigherthanthatone.【结论】从以上例句我们可以看出，形容词的比较句式的标志词语是______，形容词的比较句式的常用结构为：主语+be+形容词的比较级+than+比较的对象.。【运用】根据句意用括号内所给形容词的比较级形式填空。1.John’sdeskis________(small)thanmine.thansmaller2.Tony’ssweateris_______(big)thanTom’s.3.Todayis________(fine)thanyesterday.4.ZhaoNan’sfatheris________(busy)thanhermother.5.Itismuch________(cold)inBeijingthaninmyhometown.colderbiggerfinerbusier1)Aboutthirtyyearsago,Shenzhenwasa______village,buttodayitisavery_______city.2)Shenzhenisa_______citythanHongKong.bigbusycleanlargenewsmallwidebigsmallnewer1.Completethesentenceswiththecorrectformofthewordsinthebox.Youneedtousesomeofthewordsmorethanonce.3)Shenzhenisgetting_______and_______.Thestreetsare________and________.4)Shenzhenwillbecomeas______asHongKong.5)ThepopulationofShenzhenis______thanthatofmanyothercitiesinChina.bigbusycleanlargenewsmallwidecleanerbusybiggerbusierwiderlargershort—_______thin—______early—_______hot—_______fine—_______fat—_______cool—_______big—______wet—_______dry—_______
