Степени сравнения прилагательных и наречий

Способ образования степеней сравнения прилагательных и наречий в английском языке зависит от количества слогов, из которых они состоят.

Имена прилагательные и наречия в английском языке имеют три степени сравнения:

положительную,

сравнительную,

превосходную.

1. Степени сравнения односложных прилагательных и наречий образуются путем прибавления суффиксов к прилагательным в положительной степени:

- в сравнительной степени прибавляется суффикс –er;

- в превосходной степени прибавляется суффикс –est;

2. Большинство двусложных и многосложные прилагательные образуют степени сравнения при помощи подстановки перед прилагательным в положительной степени специальных слов:

- в сравнительной степени:

more - более (от much/many),

less – менее (от little);

- в превосходной степени:

the most – наиболее (much/many),

the least – наименее (от little).

Образование степеней сравнения прилагательных и наречий:
