grammar of lesson three comparison ( so sánh ) A-So sánh của tình từ và trạng từ: Đối với chơng trình Tiếng Anh hệ 3 năm, ta chỉ

học cách so sánh với tính từ miêu tả và trạng từ thể cách (nêu lên cách thức tiến hànhhành động ) Trong so sánh có 3 mức độ khác nhau là ;so sánh ngang bằng (positive degree), so ánh hơn (comparative degree ) và so sánh hơn nhất (superlative

degree ).Các cách so sánh này các em đã đợc học ở bài 1,2,3 trong chơng trình Tiếng Anh 11 rồi, ở đây chúng ta sẽ khái quát và ôn lại kỹ hơn các cách so sánh này:

Vậy, để có thể học tốt và hiểu rõ, nhớ kỹ về các cách so sánh trên, chúng ta sẽ cùng nhau ôn lại về 2 loại từ là tính từ và trạng từ Đây cũng là cơ sở tốt để các em cóthể học đợc các phần bài học khác

Tính từ: Dùng để bổ nghĩa cho danh từ,gồm có các loại tính từ sau:

1.Miêu tả (descriptive adjs): good,small,fat,flat

2.Chỉ định (demonstrative adjs) :this,that,these,those.

3.Bất định (indefinite adjs) :each,every,some,any,no,few,many

4.Số từ (numeral adjs) : one,two,twenty

5.Nghi vấn (interogative adjs):which,that,whose

6.Sở hữu (possessive adjs): my,your,our,their,his,her,its.

7.Mạo từ (articles):a,an,the.

*Note:Những tính từ thờng đợc nhắc đến nhiều nhất là tính từ miêu tả nên ở đây ta sẽ

chỉ nói đến tính từ miêu tả:

a)Chức năng: Có chức năng chung của tính từ là dùng để bổ nghĩa (làm rõ nghĩa)

cho danh từ và hầu hết các tính từ loại này đều có thể đợc dùng để so sánh

Một tính từ bao giờ cũng bổ nghĩa cho một danh từ và chỉ danh từ Nó đứng ngay

tr-ớc danh từ đó Trong tiếng Anh chỉ có một tính từ duy nhất đứng sau danh từ mà nó

bổ nghĩa đó là: galore ( nhiều, phong phú, dồi dào).

Ví dụ: There are errors galore in the final exam.

b)Vị trí:Có nhiều vị trí nhng chúng ta cần xét dến 2 vị trí trong câu nh sau;

+ Đứng trớc danh từ để bổ nghĩa cho danh từ:

- He has a good car.

+ Đứng sau động từ “to be,get,look,become,seem” làm đối ngữ cho động từ này:

- My school is large

- She looks beautiful

*Trật tự của tính từ: Đôi khi chúng ta dùng nhiều tính từ miêu tả trong một câu,khi

ấy trật tự của chúng đợc sắp xếp nh sau:

Số ’ chất lợng ’ kích thớc ’ tuổi tác ’ màu sắc ’ xuất xứ ’ Chất liệu +Danh từ

Ví dụ: +A small black plastic bag.

+An good old Russian song

- Các tính từ chỉ kích thớc và chiều dài thờng đi trớc tính từ chỉ hình dáng và chiều rộng:

Ví dụ: + A tall thin girl.

+ a long narrow street

- Nếu có từ hai tính từ chỉ màu sắc trở lên ta dùng liên từ ‘and’:

Ví dụ: +A black and white dress.

+ A red,white and green flag

Trạng từ (Phó từ): Đợc dùng để bổ nghĩa cho động từ,tính từ hoặc một

trạng từ khác

Ví dụ: + He writes quickly.

+ She dances very beautifully

+ They run very fast

Có tất cả 7 loại trạng từ sau:

1.Thể cách (of manner): quickly,fast,well

2.Nơi chốn (of place):here,there

3.Thời gian(of time): now,then,today

4.Tần suất (of frequency):often,never

5.Mức độ (of degree) :very,too,quite

6.Nghi vấn (interrogative) :when?why?

7.Quan hệ (relative) :when,where,why.

*Trong số các trạng từ kể trên thì có trạng từ thể cách là có thể đợc dùng để so sánh

- Một phó từ bao giờ cũng bổ nghĩa cho:

+ Một động từ - một tính từ - và một phó từ khác

Ví dụ:

He runs very fast

verb adv adv

She is terribly beautiful

Adv adj

từ Một số các tính từ cũng có tận cùng là ly

Ví dụ:

Lovely, friendly, lonely

- Một số các cụm từ mở đầu bằng giới từ để chỉ địa điểm, thời gian, phơng tiện hành

động, tình huống hành động cũng đợc coi là phó từ Ví dụ: in the office

- Một số các phó từ có cấu tạo đặc biệt nh soon, very, almost.

- Vị trí các phó từ trong tiếng Anh tơng đối thoải mái nhng cũng có những phức tạp

Có một số quy luật nh sau:

+ Các phó từ bổ ngữ sẽ thờng xuyên đứng ở cuối câu theo thứ tự u tiên:

+ Một phó từ không bao giờ đợc đứng xen vào giữa động từ và tân ngữ

Ví dụ:I have terribly a headache (câu sai vì phó từ đứng xen giữa động từ và tân

ngữ )

+ Nếu trong câu chỉ có phó từ chỉ thời gian thì nó thể đứng lên đầu câu.

Ví dụ: In 1975 I graduated but I didn’t find a job.

+ Các phó từ chỉ tần số (always, sometimes ) thờng bao giờ cũng đứng trớc

động từ chính khi nó là động từ hành động, nhng bao giờ cũng đứng sau động

Ví dụ: - They have often visited me recently.

- He always comes in time

Nhng: The president is always in time

Và nh vậy, chúng ta đã có một số kiến thức nhất định về tính từ và trạng từ trong Tiếng Anh, bây giờ, chúng ta sẽ ôn lại về các cách so sánh mà ta đã đợc học ở lớp 11

1) So sánh bằng.

So sánh bằng chỉ ra 2 thực thể chính xác giống nhau (bằng nhau hoặc nh nhau)

và ngợc lại nếu cấu trúc so sánh ở dạng phủ định

Cấu trúc

So (as) + adj/adv + as

• Nếu là cấu trúc phủ định as thứ nhất có thể thay bằng so.

Ví dụ: He is not so tall as his father.

L

u ý: Ta cần phải nhớ rằng đại từ sau as luôn ở dạng chủ ngữ.

Peter is as tall as I You are as old as she

- Đối với các phó từ và tính từ ngắn, ta chỉ cần cộng thêm đuôi ER vào tận cùng.

- Đối với những tính từ ngắn có 1 nguyên âm kẹp giữa 2 phụ âm, ta phải gấp đôi phụ

âm cuối để không phải thay đổi cách đọc

Ví dụ : big - bigger.

red - redder hot - hotter

- Những tính từ có 2 âm tiết tận cùng bằng bán nguyên âm “y” phải đổi thành ier (y

-ier) và “er” thì phải thêm “er” thành “erer”

Ví dụ : happy - happier

friendly - friendlier (hoặc more friendly than) clever - cleverer

Subject + verb + + than +

- Đối với tất cả các phó từ và tính từ dài dùng more (nếu hơn) và dùng less ( nếu

less + adj/adv

* Có thể thêm er vào tận cùng của một số phó từ nh: faster, quicker, sooner, và later.

Ví dụ : John’s grades are higher than his sister’s.

Today is hotter than yesterday

This chair is more comfortable than the other

He speaks Spanish more fluently than I

He visits his family less frequently than she does

This year’s exhibit is less impressive than last year’s

est adv

est adj

adv most

adj most

+ John is the tallest boy in the family

+ Deana is the shortest of the three sisters

+ These shoes are the least expensive of all

+ Of the three shirts, this one is the prettiest

+ That child behaves the most carelessly of all

+ Irene plays the most recklessly of all

* Một số tính từ/trạng từ bất qui tắc:

good/well -> the best

bad/badly -> the worst

many/much -> the most

far -> the farthest/furthest

old -> the oldest/eldest (the eldest chỉ dùng chỉ những

ng-ời trong gia đình Ví dụ : I am the eldest sister in my family.)

“The English language”

First,let’s have a look at its history.Two thousand years ago,the English Ilses were inhabited by speakers of Celtic languages.Next to Celtic languages was Latin which was the language of government from 43

BC to about AD 410 in the areas whichare now England and Wales Between the fourth and seventh centuries AD, the Anglo-Saxons arrived They spoke

a germanic language which forms the basis of modern English

1) Which language/British Isles/two thoasand years ago?

2) Which language/next?

3) Which language/form/modern English?

2 English is much different from the language which was once brought across

the North Sea by the Anglo-Saxons

Although the Anglo-Saxons would be able to recognize many individual

words,it’s the way in which those words are put together to make sentences that would be hardly recognizable to them

Many people say it’s the flexibility of function of individual words, the

assimilation of borrowings and the spontaneous creation of new words that have made English an effective medium of international communication

1) Modern English/different/old English?

2) What/hardly recognizable to Anglo-Saxons?

Look through situation 1 again and write sentences like this

I/watch/ ’the English language’ programme/be on at 8.

I’m going to watch ’the English programme’ programme which will be

on at 8.

1) I/watch/the programme about Shakespeare/be on at 9

2) We/learn/Celtic languages/still in use in parts of Britain.

3) They/watch/Hamlet/be on in 5 minutes

4) She/study/a Germanic language/spoken by the Anglo-Saxons

5) I/buy/her/a book/introduce Shakespeare

Exercise 2

Next to Celtic languages was Latin It was the language of government from 43 BC to about AD 410.

Next to Celtic language was Latin , which was the language of

1) The Anglo-Saxons spoke a Germanic language.It forms the basis of modernEnglish

2) English has undergone a lot of changes They would be hard for the Saxons to imagine

Anglo-3) English has got cosiderable borrowings They come from other languages.4) Modern English evolved from three languages.They are Germanic,French and Latin

5) English tends towards simplicity That is its strenght

Exercise 3

Rewrite these sentences,like this:

The pronunciation causes me a lot of difficulties.

It is the pronunciation THAT causes me a lot of difficulties.

1) The English articles and phrasal verbs puzzle me most

2) The mingling of three languages constitutes modern English

3) The English languages is used as the language of aviation,international sport and pop music

4) The flexibility of function of individual words, the assimilation of

borrowings and the spontaneous creation of new words have made English

an effective medium of international communication

People in England speak English.

3) Russia – Russian 4) Italy – Italian

5) Vietnam – Vietnamese 6) China – Chinese

7) Japan – Japanese 8) Portugal – Portuguese

III-Reading practice

In the world today,there are 5,000 to 6,000 living languages,of which English

is by far the most widely used.As a mother tongue, it ranks second only to Chinese, which is little used outside China

Approximately 350 million people speak English as their first language.About the same number use it as a second language.It is the English language that is used
