较 级 |
副词比较级的用法与形容词相似。在“比较+than”的句中，当than前后所使用的动词相同时，通常用助动词代替后面的动词。该动词或助动词可以省略。 | Who runs faster, Lucy
or Meimei?
Li Lei jumped farther than Jim (did)He works much harder than I (do). |
|
最
高 级 |
副词最高级的用法与形容词相似。副词最高级前可以不加定冠the。 | Lin Tao jumped (the)
farthest of all.
Bob came to school the latest in his class yesterday. |
3.表示甲与乙在某一方面程度相同时用“as+形容词或副词原形+as”的句型。如：
I think science is as important as maths.
Tom runs as fast as Jack.
表示甲在某一方面不及乙时用“not as (so)+形容词或副词原形+as”的句型。如：
It is not as (so) warm today as yesterday.
He did not come as (so) early as Wang Lin.
