难点:
1. 几种形容词后置的现象:1)修饰some, any , no, every构成的合成词时;2)连接几个形容词起强调作用;3)过去分词;4)与表示数量的词组连用;5)absent, present, alive, awake, there, here, possible, available常放在名词后;6)当修饰名词的形容词有介词短语、不定式短语时
e.g. I like something cheaper.
Every country, big or small, rich or poor, should be equal.
All the reference books available are at your disposal.
The river is five meters wide and one two meters deep.
This is a choice difficult to make.
2. fairly, quite, rather的区别:
1) 与冠词连用
e.g. a fairly good teacher
quite a good teacher
a rather cold day/ rather a cold day
2) quite修饰某些不能用于比较级的形容词
e.g. quite complete/ perfect/ mistaken/ full/ empty/ right/ wrong/possible/ impossible
3) quite可修饰某些动词
e.g. He said something, but I didn’t quite catch it.
4) rather可修饰副词,形容词副词比较级
e.g. rather too difficult rather colder
3. The more…the more…的常用比较结构,意为“越。。。就越。。。”前者相当于从句,后者相当于主句。
4. 程度副词的修饰:
even, a lot, a great deal, a bit, a little, sill, much, far, yet, slightly, some, no, not, any, rather, by far修饰比较级。但by far通常强调最高级。用于比较级时,一般放在比较级后面,如放在前面,应在中间加the
e.g. He is taller by far than his brother.
