So sánh tính từ:
Thể loại
so sánh
1 So sánh
không bằng
He is not so kind as she is.
*S+ (be) not + as/so+ ADJ+ as + S’…
He is not so intelligent as she is.
*S+ (be) not + as/so+ ADJ+ as + S’…
2 So sánh
bằng
He is as kind as she is.
*S+ (be) + as+ ADJ+ as + S’…
He is as intelligent as she is.
*S+ (be) + as+ ADJ+ as + S’…
3 So sánh
kém hơn
He is less kind than she is.
*S+ (be) + less+ ADJ+ than+S’…
He is less intelligent than she is.
*S+ (be) + less+ ADJ+ than+S’…
4 So sánh
hơn
He is kinder than she is.
*S+ (be) + (ADJ+er)+ than+S’…
He is more intelligent than she is.
*S+ (be) + (more+ADJ)+ than+S’…
Trang 135 So sánh
kém nhất
He is the least kind (person) of all.
*S+(be) + the least (ADJ)+{N}+in/of/…
He is the least intelligent (person) of all.
*S+(be) + the least (ADJ)+{N}+in/of/…
6 So sánh
nhất
He is the kindest (person) of all.
*S+(be) + the(ADJ+est)+{N}+in/of/…
He is the most intelligent (person) of all.
*S+(be) + the (most+ADJ)+{N}+in/of/…
1 Quy luật thêm “-er”, “-est” vào sau tính từ ngắn.
- Thông thường ta thêm “-er” / “-est” vào ngay sau tính từ ta cần biến đổi.
e.g: long (dài) - longer (dài hơn) - the longest (dài nhất)
short (ngắn) - shorter (ngắn hơn) - the shortest (ngắn nhất)
- Nếu tính từ tận cùng đã có sẳn “-e”, thì chỉ thêm “-r”, và “-st”.
e.g: large (rộng) - larger (rộng hơn) - the largest (rộng nhất)
- Nếu tính từ tận cùng là một nguyên âm + một phụ âm, thì ta gấp đôi phụ âm cuối khi thêm “-er”, “-est” e.g: big (lớn) - bigger (lớn hơn) - the bigges t (lớn nhất)
Trang 14- Nếu tính từ tận cùng là một phụ âm + “ -y ”, ta đổi “-y” thành “-i” rồi thêm “-er”, “-est”.
e.g: dry (khô ráo) - drier (khô hơn) - the driest (khô nhất)
• Quy tắc thêm “-er”, “-est” vào trạng từ ngắn khi đổi sang so sánh hơn và so sánh nhất cũng giống như trên.
2 Tính từ 2 âm tiết, tận cùng là: “-y”, “-ow”, “-er”, “-tle”, “-ple”, thuộc nhóm tính từ ngắn.
3 Động từ ở Quá khứ phân từ (V 3 ) thuộc nhóm tính từ dài.
4 Vị trí thành phần bổ nghĩa nhấn mạnh trong so sánh tính từ: “…as much frightened as…”
Để nhấn mạnh so sánh, có thể thêm much / far / a lot trước so sánh hơn, công thức:
S + (V) + far/much + Adj/Adv-er + than + noun/pronoun
S + (V) + far/much + more + Adj/Adv(dài) + than + noun/pronoun
Để nhấn mạnh so sánh, có thể thêm VERY/TOO MUCH trước so sánh hơn
- He is very much taller than his brother (positive idea)
- This is too much more expensive, I can't buy it (negative idea)
Để giảm độ mạnh so sánh, có thể thêm a little / a bit / slightly trước so sánh hơn, công thức:
S + (V) + a little / a bit + Adj/Adv-er + than + noun/pronoun
S + (V) + a little / a bit + more + Adj/Adv(dài) + than + noun/pronoun
5 Tính từ ghép: “hard-working” → harder-working → the hardest-working

Well → better → (the) best khỏe mạnh
Bad → worse → (the) worst xấu, tệ
Many → more → (the) most nhiều
Much → more → (the) most nhiều
Little → less → (the) least ít
Near → nearer → (the) nearest gần → (the) next kế bên cạnh
