1、英语形容词的用法一、形容词的定义、用法表示人或事物的属性或特征的词叫形容词（Adjective） 。形容词修饰名词，它的基本用法就是为名词提供更多的信息，它分为性质形容词和叙述形容词两类，一般放在所修饰的名词之前；若修饰不定代词，则需后置。 形容词的判断方法 判断一个词是不是形容词，可以从其结构特点和句法特点两方面来确定。 (1)结构特点。 以-able，-al，-ful ，-ic，-ish，-less，-ous ，-y 等后缀结尾的词，一般是形容词，如:changeable(多变的) ，medical(医学上的)，careful(仔细的)，atomic(原子的)，foolish( 愚蠢的)，
2、careless(粗心的)，delicious(美味的)，healthy(健康的) ，rainy( 下雨的)等。 (2)句法特点。 大多数形容词都可以作定语;在 be，look,seem 等词之后作表语;可用 very 来修饰，有比较级和最高级形式。其中，在句中作定语或作表语是形容词最 主要的特点，如： Mary is very nice.玛丽很可爱。 (表语) Mary is a nice girl.玛丽是个可爱的女孩。(定语) He was asleep.他睡着了。(表语) She is a perfect teacher.她是位十全十美的老师。(定语) 形容词的用法 1.形容词用作定语
3、Li Mei is a beautiful city girl.李梅是一个漂亮的城市女孩。 The new student comes from Japan.那个新来的学生是日本人。 2.形容词用作表语 My fathers car is very expensive.我父亲的小车很贵。 The English story is very interesting.那个英文故事很有趣。 3.形容词用作宾语补足语 Dont keep the door open. 别让门敞着。 His success made him happy.他的成功让他感到幸福。 We finally found the d
4、ictionaries very useful.我们最后发现词典很有用。 4.“the+形容词” 用作主语及宾语 The old often think of old things.老年人经常回想往事。 The new always take the place of the old.新生事物总是会取代旧的事物。 5.形容词有时也可用作状语或补语 Please speak loud and clear.请说话大声一点、更清楚点。 These soldiers spent three days in the cold weather,cold and hungry. 士兵们又冷又饿在严寒的气候中
5、过了三天。 After seven days, the children came back from the forest safe. 七天之后，孩子们安全地从森林中返回。 6.少数形容词只能作表语 这些形容词包括 ill,asleep,awake,alone,well,worth,glad,unable,afraid 等，只能作表语，不能作定语。例如： (正)Dont be afraid.(误)Mr Li is an afraid man. (正)The old man was ill yesterday.(误)This is an ill person. (正)This place is
6、 worth visiting.(误)That is a worth book. 7.少数形容词只能作定语 这些形容词包括 little,live(活着的),elder,eldest 等，只能作定语，不能作表语。例如： (正)My elder brother is a doctor.(误)My brother is elder than I. (正)This is a little house.(误)The house is little. (正)Do you want live fish or dead one?(误)The old monkey is still live.二、形容词的位置
7、1.形容词一般放在名词前作定语 单个形容词修饰名词时，一般要放在名词的前面。它们的前面常常带有冠词、形容词性物主代词、指示代词、数词等。例如： a red flower 一朵红花an interesting story 一个有趣的故事 six blind men 六个盲人my own house 我自己的房子 1）.当形容词所修饰的词是由 some,any,every,no 等构成的不定代词时，形容词必须置于名词之后。例如： She has something new to tell me.她有一些新的情况告诉我。 I have nothing important to do today.今天
8、我没有重要的工作要做。 Do you know anybody else here?这儿你还有认识的人吗？ 2）.形容词后面有介词短语或不定式短语时，形容词必须置于名词之后。例如： It is a problem difficult to work out.这是一道难以解决的问题。 Edison is a student difficult to teach.爱迪生是个很难教的学生。 This is a kind of flowers easy to grow.这是一种易栽的花。 3）.在以下特殊用法中，形容词置于所修饰的名词之后。例如： All people,young or old,sho
9、uld be strict with themselves. 所有的人，无论老少，都应该严格要求自己。 We are building a new school, modern and super. 我们正在建一所现代化的高档次的新型学校。 All countries, rich and poor, should help one another. 所有的国家，无论穷富都应该互相帮助。 4）.有少数形容词，如 enough 和 possible，既可置于所修饰的名词前面也可以置于它所修饰的名词之后。例如： Do you have enough time(time enough)to prepa
10、re?你有足够的时间做准备吗？ Maybe it will be a possible chance(chance possible)for you.或许它将成为一次可能的机遇。 5）.有些形容词，置于名词之前与之后，含义不尽相同。例如： the writer present 出席的作者 the present writer 现在的作者 2. 两个以上的形容词修饰一个名词时的排列 顺序 限定词一般描绘性形容词表示大小、长短、高低的形容词表示形状的形容词表示年龄、新旧的形容词表示色彩的形容词表示国籍、地区、出处的形容词表示物质、材料的形容词表示用途、类别的形容词名词中心词。例如： an exci
11、ting international football match 一场令人激动的国际足球赛 a new red sports shirt 一件新的红色运动衫 a light black plastic umbrella 一把轻的黑塑料伞 a small old brown wooden house 一座小的旧的棕色的木头房子 巧记形容词的排列顺序 不少学生对如何排列形容词的词序颇感困惑。在此，我们向同学们介绍一个简易的记忆方法。即请你记住“限观形令色国材”这几个字，这似乎有点不大好记，那就请你记住“县官行令谢国材”吧。它们可以帮你掌握英语里形容词的排列次序。其分别的含义是： “县”(限) 代
12、表限定词，包括：冠词、指示代词、形容词性物主代词、名词所有格、数词等。 “官”（观）代表表示观点的描绘性形容词，如:fine，beautiful，interesting 等。 “行”(形) 代表表示大小、长短、高低及形状的形容词，如：small，tall，high ，little ，round 等。 “令”（龄）代表表示年龄、新、旧的形容词，如 old，young 等。 “谢”（“色 ”的近似音）代表表示颜色的形容词，如:white，black ，yellow 等。 “国” 代表表示国籍、地区、出处的形容词(名词)，如：English，American，mountain等。 “材” 则代表形成
13、中心名词的材料的形容词，如：stone,wooden ，silk ，plastic 等。 多个形容词同时修饰同一个名词时，就按上述顺序排列，然后加上中心名词。例如： 1.a fine old stone bridge 一座古老漂亮的石头桥 2. two big round new Chinese wooden tables 两张新的中国式的木制大圆桌 3. his large new black foreign car 他那辆新的大型黑色外国进口汽车 特别连接.常见的后跟形容词作表语的词： become,come,fall,get,go,grow,make,turn,wear(表示“变成某种状
14、态”) continue,hold,keep,lie,remain,stay(表示“ 保持某种状态 ”) appear,feel,look,smell,sound,taste,know,write(表示“感觉”) 例如： He turned red when he heard the news.听到这个消息，他的脸变红了。 Its going to stay cold for some time.天气还要冷一阵子。 The beer tastes very delicious.这啤酒尝起来很可口。三、形容词的比较等级 1.形容词原级的用法 形容词的原级常用于“asas”及“not as(so)
15、 as”两种句型中。 1）.句型“asas” ，表示两者相比较，程度相同。例如： The old man walks as fast as a young man.这位老人走路与青年人一样快。 Science is as important as maths.自然科学与数学一样重要。 This coat is as expensive as that one.这件上衣与那件一样贵。 2）.句型“not as(so) as”，表示两者相比较，程度不一样。例如： Im not as tall as Jack. 我不如杰克高。 She doesnt run so fast as I. 她不如我跑得块
16、。 This warship is not so big as that one.这条军舰不如那条大。 同级比较歌诀 同级比较用原级，asas 不分离； 若是否定加 not，asas 否前者。 asas 加 not，只说两者有区别。soas 加 not，后者总是强前者。 3）.在使用“asas” 与“not as(so) as” 句型，应该特别注意“asas”或“not as(so) as”中间的形容词必须是形容词的原级。例如： （正）Today is as warm as yesterday.（误）Today is as warmer as yesterday. （正）Im not so c
17、areful as my brother.（误）Im not so more careful as my brother. 4）.需要注意的原级形容词用法： “数词times+as+ 形容词原级 as”（是的几倍） 。例如： This tree is twice as short as that one.这棵树比那棵树矮两倍。 My scores are three times as many as yours.我的比分是你的三倍。 This road is four times as wide as that one.这条马路的宽度是那条的四倍。 “half+as+形容词原级as”（的一半）
18、 。例如： My English is not half as good as yours.我的英语不如你的一半好。 This town is half as big as ours.这个城镇有我们的城镇一半大。 The rivers in the north arent half as many as those in the south. 北方的河流不如南方的一半多。 “asas”结构中，若形容词作定语修饰可数名词单数，不定冠词 a(an)应置于形容词与名词之间。例如： English is as important a subject as maths.英语和数学是同样重要的一门学科。
19、Uncle Wang is as good a man as my father.王叔叔是与我父亲同样好的一个人。 This is as famous a school as ours.这是一所与我们学校同样著名的学校。 “asas”结构若指同一个人或物，则并无比较意义，而只是说明某人或某物具有两种性质。译为“又又”或“ 不但而且”。例如： This computer is as good as it is cheap.这台电脑质量又好又便宜。 The boy is as strong as he is brave.这个男孩又健壮又勇敢。 The city of Suzhou is as be
20、autiful as it is clean.苏州城既美丽又干净。 2.形容词的比较等级的构成 略 3.形容词的比较级的用法 1)表示两者之间比较时，用“形容词比较级than”或 “lessthan”两种句型。例如： Your mother looks healthier than before.你妈妈看上去比以前健康了。 Im less interested in basketball than you.我对篮球的兴趣不如你大。 2）.形容词的比较级还可以用于以下句型中。 more and more（越来越 ） 。例如： The park is getting more and more b
21、eautiful.这个公园变得越来越美了。 China had become stronger and stronger.中国已变得越来越强大了。 the morethe(越就越) 。例如： The more books we read, the cleverer we will become. 我们读的书越多，就会变得越聪明。 The more trees, the better. 树越多越好。 The sooner, the better. 越早越好。 The more exercise we take, the healthier we are.我们越锻炼，身体就越健康。 “the比较级
22、of the two(两个中较的一个)”。例如： Id like to go to the farther of the two places.两个地方相比较，我愿意去更远的一个。 She is the fatter of the two girls.她是那两个女孩中较胖的一个。 “比较级than any other+单数名词（比其他任何都） ”。例如： Li lei is taller than any other boy in his class. 李雷比他班上任何一个男孩都高。 （暗指：李雷最高） The population of China is larger than any ot
23、hers in the world. 中国的人口比世界上任何国家的人口都多。 （暗指：中国人口最多） 3）.形容词的比较级前还可以用 much,a lot, far, even, still, a little, no, any 等表示程度的词来修饰。例如： I feel a little better than yesterday.我感觉比昨天好一点儿了。 The job is far more difficult than before.这工作比以前要难得多。 4.形容词的最高级的用法 1)三者或三者以上相比较用“the最高级名词范围”。例如： This is the cleanest p
24、lace of the city.这是这个城市最清洁的地方。 Hu Yun is the fastest of all the girls in our class.胡云是我们女生中跑得最快的。 2）.表示“最之一” ，用“one of the+形容词最高级复数名词”。例如： The Great Wall of China is one of the greatest buildings in the world.中国的长城是世界上最伟大的建筑之一。 This is one of the most interesting books that Ive ever read.这是我读过的最有趣的书
25、之一。 注意. 形容词的最高级前面必须加定冠词 the，但当形容词最高级前面有物主代词修饰时，则不加 the。例如： （正）This is my best friend. （误）This is my the(the my) best friend. （正）Today is the happiest day of my life. （误）Today is happiest day of my life.形容词副词比较级最高级练习题（一） 写出下列形容词与副词的比较级与最高级形式： long_ _ wide _ _ fat _ _ heavy_ _ slow _ _ few_ _ brightly
