make 的词义比较笼统、广泛，可解释为“做、作出、制造”等，而build主要限于建筑业，指“建造，建设，盖房子，修筑（桥梁）等”Have you made the skirt by yourself?They have made a road along the river.形容词和副词的比较级和最高级比较级相当于汉语中“比……更……”这种句型，最高级则表示在某个范围“最……”的概念。
最高级在使用时前面通常要加定冠词the，并有一个短语或从句限定其范围。
1、比较级和最高级的构成：①单音节词和少数双音节词在词尾加-er，-est，以辅音加-y结尾的词变-y为-i，再加-er，-est.②以-e 结尾的词加-r，-st.③以一个辅音字母结尾的单音节词要双写最后一个字母，再加-er，-est.④三个或者是三个音节以上（多音节）,比较级的构成: more+原级;最高级的构成: the most+原级.有一些双音节词既可在单词结尾加-er，-est，也可与more/less 和most/least 连用，如narrow['næro]狭窄的，clever，common ['kɑmən]普通的;常见的，pleasant等。

新概念英语教材第二册Lesson 1 A private conversation 私人谈话Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I did not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. 'I can't hear a word!' I said angrily. ‘It’s none of your business,' the young man said rudely. 'This is a private conversation!'.上星期我去看戏。
我的座位很好，戏很有意思，但我却无法欣赏。

我非常生气，因为我听不见演员在说什么。
我回过头去怒视着那一男一女，他们却毫不理会。
最后，我忍不住了，又一次回过头去，生气地说：“我一个字也听不见了！”“不关你的事，”那男的毫不客气地说，“这是私人间的谈话！”Lesson 2 Breakfast or lunch? 早餐还是午餐？It was Sunday. I never get up early on Sundays.
