Ôn tập so sánh hơn với tính từ (comparative forms of adjectives) Sử dụng so sánh hơn của tính từ để so sánh giữa người (hoặc vật) này với người (hoặc vật) khác. Trong so sánh hơn, tính từ sẽ được chia làm hai loại là tính từ dài và tính từ ngắn. Trong đó: - Tính từ ngắn là những tính từ có 1 âm tiết. Ví dụ: tall, high, big,... - Tính từ dài là những tính từ có từ 2 âm tiết trở lên. Ví dụ: expensive, intelligent,... 2. Cấu trúc câu so sánh hơn Đối với tính từ ngắn Đối với tính từ dài S1 + to be + adj-er + than + S2 S1 + to be + more + adj + than + S2 Với tính từ ngắn, thêm đuôi “er” vào Với tính từ dài, thêm “more” trước tính từ sau tính từ Ví dụ: Ví dụ: 6
5. China is bigger than India. Gold is more valuable than silver. (Trung Quốc to lớn hơn Ấn Độ. (Vàng có giá trị hơn bạc). Lan is shorter than Nam. Hanh is more beautiful than Hoa. (Lan thì thấp hơn Nam). (Hạnh thì xinh hơn Hoa). My house is bigger than your house. Your book is more expensive than his book. (Nhà của tôi to hơn nhà của bạn). (Quyển sách của bạn đắt hơn quyển sách của anh ấy.) His pen is newer than my pen. Exercise 1 is more difficult than exercise 2. (Bút của anh ấy mới hơn bút của tôi). (Bài tập số 1 khó hơn bài tập số 2) * Lưu ý: Để nhấn mạnh ý trong câu so sánh hơn, ta thêm “much” hoặc “far” trước hình thức so sánh. Ví dụ: Her boyfriend is much/far older than her. (Bạn trai của cô ấy lớn tuổi hơn cô ấy rất nhiều.) 3. Cách sử dụng tính từ trong câu so sánh hơn - Cách thêm đuôi –er vào tính từ ngắn: Tính từ kết thúc bởi 1 phụ âm => thêm đuôi –er old - older, near - nearer Tính từ kết thúc bởi nguyên âm “e” => chỉ cần têm đuôi “r” nice – nicer Tính từ kết thúc bởi 1 nguyên âm (a,i,e,o,u) + 1 phụ âm => gấp đôi phụ âm cuối và thêm đuôi –er. big – bigger, hot – hotter , fat – fatter , fit – fitter Tính từ kết thúc bởi “y”, dù có 2 âm tiết vẫn là tính từ ngắn => bỏ “y” và thê, happy – happier, pretty - prettier * Lưu ý: Một số tính từ có hai âm tiết kết thúc bằng "et, ow, le,er, y" thì áp dụng Quy tắc thêm đuôi -er như tính từ ngắn. Ví dụ: quiet => quieter clever – cleverer simple – simpler narrow – narrower - Một vài tính từ đặc biệt: Với một số tính từ sau, dạng so sánh hơn của chúng không theo quy tắc trên. Tính từ Dạng so sánh hơn 7
6. Good better Bad worse Far farther/further much/many more Little less Old older/elder COMPARATIVE FORMS OF ADVERBS (SO SÁNH VỚI TRẠNG TỪ) Tương tự như tính từ, trạng từ cũng được chia làm 2 loại: - Trạng từ ngắn là những từ có 1 âm tiết Ví dụ: hard, fast, near, far, right, wrong,... - Trạng từ dài là những từ có 2 âm tiết trở lên. Ví dụ: slowly, responsibly, quickly, interestingly, tiredly,.... 1. Cấu trúc câu so sánh hơn với trạng từ Đối với trạng từ ngắn Đối với trạng từ dài S1 + V + adv-er + than + S2 S1+ V + more/less + adv + than S2 Với trạng từ ngắn, thường là trạng từ - Với trạng từ dài, hầu hết là các trạng từ chỉ cách thức có đuôi “-ly” ta thêm “more” (nhiều hơn) hoặc “less”(ít hơn) vào trước trạng từ. chỉ cách thức có hình thức giống tính - less” là từ phản nghĩa của “more" được dùng để diễn đạt sự không bằng nhau ở mức độ ít hơn. từ, ta thêm đuôi "er”vào sau trạng từ. Ví dụ: Ví dụ: They work harder than I do. My friend did the test more carefully than I did, (Họ làm việc chăm chỉ hơn tôi) (Bạn tôi làm bài kiểm tra cẩn thận hơn tôi) She runs faster than he does. My father talks mọc slowly tham my mother does. (Cô ấy chạy nhanh hơn anh ấy) (Bố tôi nói chậm hơn mẹ tôi.) My mother gets up earlier than me. Hanh acts less responsibly than anyone here. : (Mẹ tôi thức dậy sớm hơn tôi.) (An hoạt động ít trách nhiệm hơn bất cứ ai ở đây.) I go to school later than my friends do. (Tôi đi học muộn hơn các bạn.) 8
7. 2. Một vài trạng từ có dạng đặc biệt Trạng từ Trạng từ so sánh hơn Well Better Badly Worse Far farther/further Early earlier (không thêm more) Ví dụ: The little boy ran farther than his friends. (Cậu bé chạy xa hơn những người bạn.) You‟re driving worse today than yesterday. (Hôm nay bạn lái xe tệ hơn hôm qua.) - Reported speech - Adverb clause of concession, Adverb clause of reason/ result - Question words before to- infinitive. 1.Factories and companies should be constructed in . places only.
