Прилагательное

Оглавление

Существует три степени сравнения прилагательных в английском языке – положительная, сравнительная и превосходная.

My friend Jon has a huge library at home though he has not got much space and keeps all his books on a small shelf. He is also keen on old books. There are a lot of interesting books. There is one that I find the most interesting is Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Caroll. I think classical literature is more interesting than modern one.

Большинство прилагательных имеют степени сравнения.

старый – старше – самый старый

old – older – the oldest

У прилагательных содержащих абсолютное значение нет сравнительной степени.

Например, huge – огромный (не может быть огромнее и т.д.)

Сравнительная степень может сопровождаться словами маркерами, например, than.

Our local library is smaller than the one in the city.

Сравнительная степень образуется при помощи следующего суффикса – er

Прилагательные в превосходной степени получают суффикс – est и сопровождается определенным артиклем – the

Small – smaller – the smallest

При этом прилагательные с – y на конце, получают суффикс – ier и – iest соответственно

Happy – happier – the happiest

У односложных прилагательных удваивается

Hot – hotter – the hottest

– e в конце у прилагательного опускается

Large- larger – the largest

Brave – braver – the bravest

Многосложные прилагательные в сравнительной степени получают more и в превосходной the most

Interesting – more interesting – the most interesting

Effective – more effective – the most effective

Исключения:

good – better – the best

bad – worse – the worst

little – less – the least

many – more – the most
