По значению прилагательные бывают качественные (large – большой, small – маленький, heavy – тяжёлый, brave – храбрый) и относительные (wooden – деревянный, central – центральный) и т.д.
Относительные прилагательные не имеют степеней сравнения и не сочетаются с наречием very – очень.
Качественные прилагательные имеют следующие степени сравнения: положительную, сравнительную и превосходную.
Односложные (т.е. состоящие из одного слога) прилагательные образуют сравнительную степень при помощи суффикса -er, превосходную степень – при помощи суффикса -est.
положительная степень
сравнительная степень
превосходная степень
deep – глубокий hard – тяжёлый big – большой
deeper – глубже harder – тяжелее bigger – больше
the deepest – самый глубокий the hardest – самый тяжёлый the biggest – самый большой
Некоторые двусложные прилагательные: а) имеющие ударение на втором слоге и б) оканчивающиеся на -y, -er, -ow, -le, образуют степени сравнения таким же образом.
положительная степень
сравнительная степень
превосходная степень
polite – вежливый sunny – солнечный shallow – мелкий simple – простой
politer – вежливее sunnier – более солнечный shallower – более мелкий simpler – проще
(the) politest – самый вежливый (the) sunniest – самый солнечный (the) shallowest – самый мелкий (the) simplest – простейший
Большинство двусложных и многосложных прилагательных (т.е. состоящие из 3-х слогов и более) образуют сравнительную степень при помощи слов more – более и less – менее, а превосходную степень – при помощи слов most – наиболее, самый и least – наименее.
положительная степень
сравнительная степень
превосходная степень
interesting – интересный
more interesting – более интересный less interesting – менее интересный
(the) most interesting – самый интересный (the) least interesting – наименее интересный
Некоторые прилагательные образуют степени сравнения от других корней.
