► GRAMMAR (NGỮ PHÁP)
I. Superlative adjectives (So sánh nhất của tính từ)
Ta sử dụng so sánh nhất để so sánh người (hoặc vật) với tất cả người (hoặc vật)
trong nhóm. Trong câu so sánh nhất, 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. Ex: tall, high, big,...
- Tính từ dài là những tính từ có từ 2 âm tiết trở lên. Ex: expensive, intelligent,... 1. Cấu trúc
Short adjectives ( Tính từ ngắn)
S + V +the + short adj/adv + est + ( noun)
Với tính từ ngắn,thêm đuôi “est”vào sau adj Ex: -
It was the happiest day of my life. (Đó là ngày hạnh phúc nhất trong cuộc đời tôi.) -
Giraffe is the tallest animal in the world.(Hươu cao cổ là động vật cao nhất trên thế giới) -
He is the best student in my class. (Cậu ấy là học sinh giỏi nhất lớp tôi)
Long adjectives( Tính từ dài)
S + V + the + most + long adj/adv + ( noun)
Với tính từ dài, thêm “ the most “trước adj Ex: -
Love is the most important thing.
(Tình yêu là điều quan trọng nhất.) -
Nhi speaks English the most fluently in her class. -
(Trong lớp,Nhi nói tiếng Anh lưu loát nhất) -
This book is the most interesting. (Đây là quyển sách thú vị nhất)
=> So sánh nhất có thể được bổ nghĩa bằng much hoặc by far.
Ex: Amy is the smartest by far.
(Amy thông minh nhất,hơn mọi người nhiều)
Nam’s English was much the worst. (Tiếng Anh của Nam
tệ nhất,tệ hơn mọi người nhiều
Hình thức so sánh nhất của tính từ hoặc trạng từ được thành lập bằng cách
- Thêm est vào sau tính từ hoặc trạng từ ngắn (short adj/adv) hoặc tính từ có hai âm
tiết tận cùng bằng -er, -et, -ow, -ly, le.
Ví dụ : clever( thông minh) ➔
cleverest(thông minh nhất ) quiet( yên lặng) ➔
quietest( yên lặng nhất ) shallow (nông) ➔
shallowest(nông nhất) early( sớm) ➔ Earliest( sớm nhất) simple( đơn giản) ➔
simplest( đơn giản nhất)
- Thêm the most vào trước tính từ hoặc trạng từ có hai âm tiết( trừ các tính từ tận
cùng bằng -er, -ow, -ly, le) hoặc có từ 3 âm tiết trở lên (long adj/adv).
Ví dụ : expensive( đắt) ➔
the most expensive( đắt nhất) famous (nổi tiếng) ➔
the most famous (nổi tiếng nhất) beautiful( đẹp) ➔
the most beautiful( đẹp nhất ) interesting( thú vị) ➔
the most interesting( thú vị nhất) interesting( thú vị) ➔
the most interesting( thú vị nhất)
2. Hình thức so sánh bất quy tắc (Irregular comparision) Tính từ/Trạng từ Dạng so sánh hơn Dạng so sánh nhất Good/well( tốt) better best Bad/badly (tệ ) worse worst Far( xa) father/ further fathest/ furthest Many/much( nhiều) more most Little( ít) less least Old(già,cũ) older/elder oldest/eldest
- Cả fathest/furthest đều được dùng để chỉ khoảng cách. Không có sự khác nhau về nghĩa.
Ex: Nha Be is the fathest/furthest district of the three.(Nhà Bè là quận xa nhất trong ba quận)
- Further còn có nghĩa “thêm nữa,hơn nữa” (father không có nghĩa này)
Ex: Let me know if you have any futher news.(= any more news)
(Nếu bạn có thêm tin tức gì thì hãy cho tôi biết nhé.

3. Exceptions (Ngoại lệ)
- Đôi khi chúng ta nhấn mạnh vào những từ mà chỉ có ý nghĩa về mặt cấu trúc, ví dụ như
khi chúng ta muốn sửa thông tin.
