主要用来修饰名词的词,表示事物的特征。
形容词用来修饰名词或代词,表示人或事物的性质、状态,和特征的程度好坏,与否。
形容词作定语修饰名词时,要放在名词的前边。但是如果形容词修饰以-thing为字尾的词语时,要放在这些词之后,例如:something nice
以-ly结尾的形容词:
1)friendly,deadly,lovely,lonely,likely,lively,ugly,brotherly,仍为形容词。
2)有些以-ly 结尾既为形容词,也为副词。
daily,weekly,monthly,yearly,early
The Times is a daily paper. The Times is published daily.
用形容词表示类别和整体:
某些形容词加上定冠词可以泛指一类人,与谓语动词的复数连接。如:the dead,the living,the rich,the poor,the blind,the hungry.
副词(adverb,简写为adv)是一种用来修饰动词、形容词、全句的词,说明时间、地点、程度、方式等概念的词。副词是一种半虚半实的词。
副词可分为:地点副词、方式副词、程度副词、疑问副词和连接副词。
兼有两种形式的副词:
1) close与closely
close意思是“近”; closely 意思是“仔细地”
He is sitting close to me. Watch him closely.
2)late 与lately
late意思是“晚”; lately 意思是“最近”
You have come too late.What have you been doing lately?
形容词与副词的比较级:
大多数形容词(性质形容词)和副词有比较级和最高级的变化,即原级、比较级和最高级,用来表示事物的等级差别。原级即形容词的原形,比较级和最高级有规则变化和不规则变化两种。
1) 规则变化
2) 不规则变化
有少数形容词、副词的比较级和最高级是不规则的,必须熟记。如:
good→ better→ best
well→ better→ best
bad→ worse→ worst
ill→ worse→ worst
old→ older/elder→ oldest/eldest
many/much→ more→ most
little→ less→ least
far→ further/farther→ furthest/farthest
