形容词比较级、最高级的构词法
Instruction
大多数形容词有三个等级:原级、比较级和最高级。
原级指形容词未经比较变化的初始形态。
当我们将两个对象进行比较时,我们要用形容词的比较级,表示“较……”“更……一些”“比……更……”。
当被比较的对象是三个或三个以上时,我们会用形容词的最高级,表示“最……”,最高级前通常要加定冠词 the。

常见的形容词比较级和最高级的不规则变化如下:
口诀
比较级要变化,一般词尾加-er。
词尾若有哑音e,直接加r就可以。
重读闭音节,单个辅音字母要双写。
辅音字母加y,要把y改i。
最高级加-est,前面加the莫忘记。
形容词若是多音节,只把more,most前面写
注意:
构成形容词比较级和最高级的er和est,自成一个音节,读作/ə(r)/ 和/ɪst/。如果原级词末为不发音的字母 r,加er和est 时,r 要发/r/ 音,如clear /klɪə(r)/、clearer /ˈklɪərə(r)/、clearest /ˈklɪərɪst/。如果原级词末的发音为/ŋ/,加er 和est 时,/ŋ/音后得加上/ɡ/音,如 long /lɒŋ/、longer /ˈlɒŋɡə(r)/、longest /ˈlɒŋɡɪst/。
