二、形容词、副词的比较级和最高级的用法
1．“A + be +形容词比较级 + than + B”意思为“A比B更……”。
如：This tree is taller than that one. 这棵树比那棵树高。
注意：①在含有连词than的比较级中，前后的比较对象必须是同一范畴，即同类事物之间的比较。②在比较级前面使用much，表示程度程度“强得多”。
如：A watermelon is much bigger than an apple.
2．“比较级 + and + 比较级”或“more and more +原级”表示“越来越……”
It becomes warmer and warmer when spring comes. 春天来了，天气变得越来越
暖和了。It is getting cooler and cooler.天气越来越凉爽。
The wind became more and more heavily.风变得越来越大。
Our school is becoming more and more beautiful. 我们的学校变得越来越美
丽。
3. “the +比较级……, the+比较级”，表示“越……越……”。
The more money you make, the more you spend.钱你赚得越多，花得越多。
The sooner，the better. 越快越好。
4.形容词、副词的最高级形式主要用来表示三者或三者以上人或事物的比较，表示“最……”的意思。句子中有表示范围的词或短语。如：of the three, in our class 等等。如：He is the tallest in our class. 他在我们班里是最高的。
5. 比较级与最高级的转换：
Mike is the tallest intelligent in his class.
