5、词，它们的比较级是如何构成的呢？也是在词尾加 -er 吗？不是的，一般在形容词前加 more 构成比较级。例如：1) Football is _ than baseball in most countries. 在很多国家，足球比棒球更受流行。2) Nothing is _ than playing tennis. 没有什么比打网球更令人愉快的了。3) Its _ to practise in winter (than in summer ).冬季训练（要比夏季训练）难度更大。Keys: 1) more popular 2) more enjoyable 3) more difficult副词
6、和副词的比较级英语中的副词该如何使用呢？应该放在句中的什么地方呢？一般来说，副词主要用来修饰动词、形容词、副词或其他结构。例如：1) She plays the piano _. 她钢琴弹得很糟。2) Im _ tired after last nights tennis match. 昨晚网球赛后我真的很累。2) We all arrived as _ as we could. 我们都尽早赶到了。3) The teacher speaks very _ and _. 这位老师讲得很慢、很仔细。注意副词与形容词在位置及功能上的不同，试比较：1) The teacher speaks _. 这位
7、老师讲得很仔细。2) The teacher is _. 这位老师很细心。Keys: 1) badly 2) really 3) slowly; carefully 1) carefully 2) careful不难发现，副词一般修饰动词，通常出现在行为动词（实义动词）后，而形容词一般跟在系动词后作表语。另外，形容词和副词也可以进行形式上的转换，如：careful + ly carefully quick + ly quickly safe + ly safelybusy + ly busily heavy + ly heavily但需要注意，部分词语既可做形容词也可做副词，学习过程中要注意积
8、累，如 fast, early, late 等。副词的比较级副词比较级别和形容词比较级的变化形式大致相同，也分规则变化和不规则变化两种，例如：1) We are training _ because we want to win. 我们训练的更刻苦，因为我们想要获胜。2) This year we are training _. 今年我们训练得更认真了。3) Sam did _ this year than last year. 萨姆今年表现得比去年好。Keys: 1) harder 2) more carefully 3) better “the + 比较级，the + 比较级” 是比较级表
9、达中的一个固定句式，表示“越， 越” 。 例如：The more carefully you drive, the safer it is. 开车越小心越好。常用形容词、副词比较级不规则变化如下：原级 比较级good / well betterbad / ill, badly worsemany / much morelittle lessfar farther / furtherStep 5 Exercises:Complete the sentences.1.
