一、知识点详解
1. Grammar
比较事物的数量
我们常用more, fewer, less, the most, the fewest, the least比较事物的数量。在使用这些单
词时需要注意些什么呢?
【热身练习】用括号中所给词的适当形式填空。
1. Mike spent at ___________ (little) 5,000 yuan on his new computer.
2. -Did you do well in Maths this time?
-No, I didn't. I got __________ (few) points than the other students.
【答案】1. least 2. fewer
【规则提炼】more和the most既可用于可数名词,也可用于不可数名词表示“更多”和“最多”;fewer, the fewest用于可数名词表示“更少”和“最少”;less, the least用于不可数名词表示“更少”和“最少”。例如:
I have fewer friends than you. 我的朋友比你的少。
Johnson has the least bread of us four.约翰逊的面包数量是我们四个人中最少的。
Kitty has the most flowers of all. 基蒂的花是所有人中最多的。
注意:当要表达“A的某物比B的多沙)时”,我们通常要说“A has more(fewer/less)…than B"而不说“A's…are more than B's”。后者虽然语法上正确,但不符合英语国家人们日常生活中的表达习惯。
1. Linda has ___________(few) pens than Simon.
2. Lucy has ___________(little) rice than Lily.
3. He has _____________(many) pens in our class.
4. Kate has _____________(much) milk among her friends.
