Step 3问题探究
1．形容词和副词最高级的构成
1)hard hardest great greatest
2)late latest nice nicest
3)big biggest fat fattest
4)easy easiest happy happiest
5)beautiful most_beautiful
interesting most_interesting
6)good best many most
一般情况在词尾直接加est；以字母e结尾的只加st；重读闭音节词尾只有一个辅音字母时，先双写该辅音字母，再加est；以辅音字母＋y结尾的先变y为i再加est；在多音节和部分双音节词的词前加most或least；此外还有一些不规则变化的单词，需要我们特殊背诵。
2．最高级的用法
1)我是我们班最高的。I'm_the_tallest_in_our_class.
2)他是三个人中跳得最高的。
He_jumps_highest_of_the_three_people.
表示三者或三者以上的人或事物的比较，其中一个在某方面超过其他几个时，我们要用形容词或副词的最高级，在句子的后面可以用of (in)短语来表示比较的范围，形容词的最高级前面一般要加定冠词the。副词最高级前面的the可以省去。
请学生们做前面课时训练部分。
