Lesson 5

Rule 1. Degrees of comparison of adjectives Степени сравнения прилагательных

Прилагательные в английском языке имеют 3 степени сравнения: положительную (the positive degree), сравнительную (the comparative degree), превосходную (the superlative degree).

e.g. This house is as old as that one. (положительная степень)

This house is older than that one. (сравнительная степень, старше того)

This house is the oldest of all. (превосходная степень)

В положительной степени прилагательные остаются без изменения.

e.g. as busy as a bee

as good as gold

Is he as tall as his father?

Сравнительная и превосходная степени могут образовываться 3 путями: 1)синтетическим, 2) аналитическим, 3) супплетивным.

1. Образовать степени сравнения синтетическим путём значит прибавить суффикс -еr в сравнительной степени и -est в превосходной. Таким путём образуют степени сравнения:

а) односложные прилагательные

e.g. wet - wetter - the wettest

(but greeп – greener - the greenest)

b) двусложные прилагательные, оканчивающиеся на -у, -er, -ow, -le

e.g. happy – happier - the happiest

clever – cleverer - the cleverest

narrow – narrower - the narrowest

simple –simpler - the simplest |

c) двусложные прилагательные с ударением на последнем слоге |

e.g. complete – completer - the completest

(but modern – more modern - the most modern)

2. Образовать степени сравнения аналитическим путём значит прибавить слово тоrе в сравнительной степени и - the most в превосходной. Таким путём образуют степени сравнения остальные двусложные, трёхсложные и многосложные прилагательные.

e.g. This novel is as interesting as that one.

This novel is more interesting than that one.

This novel is the most interesting of all.

3. Образовать степени сравнения супплетивным путём значит изменить форму прилагательного. Эти формы надо запомнить.
