Trong câu so sánh hơn, tính từ sẽ được chia làm 2 loại là tính từ dài và tính từ ngắn, trong đó: - Tính từ ngắn là tính từ có 1 âm tiết : Ví dụ : tall, high, big - Tính từ dài là tính từ có từ 2 âm tiết trở lên : Ví dụ : expensive, intelligent II. Cấu trúc câu so sánh hơn: Đối với tính từ ngắn Đối với tính từ dài S1 + to be + adj +er + than + S2 Với tính từ ngắn, thêm đuôi “er” vào sau tính từ Với tính từ dài, thêm đuôi “more” vào trước tính từ Ví dụ: Ví dụ: China is bigger than India Gold is more valuable than silver Lan is shorter than Nam Hanh is more beautiful than Hoa My house is bigger than your house Your book is more expensive than my book His pen is newer than my pen Exercise 1 is more difficult than exercise 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 III. Cách sử dụng tính từ trong câu so sánh hơn: 1.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 1 nguyên âm “e” →thêm đuôi –r Nice-nicer Tính từ kết thúc bởi 1 nguyên âm(ueoai) +1 phụ âm → gấp Big-bigger, hot-hotter, fat-fatter đôi phụ âm cuối và thêm đuôi -er Tính từ kết thúc bởi “y” dù có 2 âm tiết vẫn là tính từ ngắn Happy-happier, →bỏ “y” và thêm đuôi “ier” Pretty-prettier Lưu ý: Một số tính từ có hai âm tiết kết thúc bằng “_et, _ow, _er, _y, _le” thì áp dụng như quy tắc thêm er ở tính từ ngắn Ví dụ: quiet →quieter c lever → cleverer Page 3
4. Simple → simpler narrow →narower 2.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 Good Better Bad Worse Far Farther/ further Much/ many More Little Less Old Older/ elder IV.
