LESSON 2
Степени сравнения прилагательных и наречий
Имена прилагательные и наречия имеют положительную, сравнительную и превосходную степени.
1. Односложные прилагательные и наречия, двусложные с ударением на первом слоге, а также прилагательные оканчивающиеся на ~er, ~ee, ~ow, ~y образуют сравнительную степень с помощью суффикса -er, а превосходную степень с помощью суффикса -est. Существительное, определяемое прилагательным в превосходной степени, употребляется с определенным артиклем, а перед наречием в превосходной степени артикль не употребляется.
Положительная степень |
Сравнительная степень |
Превосходная степень |
This building is high. Это здание высокое.
He came near and said “Hullo”. Он подошел близко и сказал «Привет». |
That building is higher. То здание выше.

That is the highest building in the city. Это самое высокое здание в городе.
They stood nearest to us. Они стояли ближе всех к нам. |
2. Сравнительная степень многосложных прилагательных и наречий образуется при помощи слова more, а превосходная - при помощи слова (the) most. Для того чтобы выразить уменьшение качества или свойства предмета, употребляются слова less менее; (the) least наименее.
Положительная степень |
Сравнительная степень |
Превосходная степень |

This work is important. Эта работа важная. |
That film is more interesting. Тот фильм более интересный.

3. Некоторые прилагательные и наречия образуют степени сравнения от разных основ.
Положительная степень |
Сравнительная степень |
Превосходная степень |
good, well хороший, хорошо bad, badly плохой, плохо many, much много little маленький, мало
far

|
better лучше worse хуже more больше less меньше
а) farther в) further а) дальше (по расстоянию) в) дальше (по времени) |
(the) best самый лучший, лучше всего (the) worst самый худший, хуже всего (the) most самый большой, больше всего (the) least самый маленький, наименьший, меньше всего а)the farthest в)the furthest а) дальше всего (по расстоянию) в) дальше всего (по времени) |
Имеются также способы выражения сравнения с помощью союзов:
Для сравнения двух предметов одинакового качества прилагательное в основной форме ставится между парным союзом as … as, обозначающим такой же … как.
Для того чтобы избежать повторения существительного, употребляется местоимение one (ones – для множественного числа) или указательное местоимение that (those):
This street is as long as that one.
The days in summer are longer than those in winter. |
Эта улица такая же длинная, как та.
Летом дни длиннее, чем (дни) зимой. |
В отрицательных предложениях вместо союза as … as употребляется союз not so … as (not as … as), который на русский язык переводится не такой … как:
The Dnieper is not so (as) long as the Volga |
Днепр не такая длинная река, как Волга |
Конструкция the … the в сочетании с прилагательным или наречием в сравнительной степени переводится на русский язык союзом чем … тем:
The longer the days, the shorter the nights. |
Чем длиннее дни, тем короче ночи. |
После сравнительной степени употребляется союз than, который переводится словом чем или совсем не переводится:
Exercise 5 is easier than exercise 7. |
Упражнение 5 легче (чем упражнение) упражнения 7. |
