SO SÁNH TRONG TIẾNG ANH
1.1 Khái niệm
Câu so sánh là một trong số các ngữ pháp tiếng Anh thường xuyên được sử
dụng nhất. Nó được dùng trong câu để thể hiện sự so sánh thông thường
ngoài ra cũng được dùng để nhấn mạnh ý nghĩa trong câu.
Ví dụ
She’s beautiful like a model, but my wife is prettier than a model
– Cô ấy đẹp như người mẫu, nhưng vợ tôi còn đẹp hơn người mẫu
1.2 Các trạng từ, tính từ
Ngoài ra khi học cấu trúc câu so sánh bạn cần phân biệt được các trạng từ
tính từ ngắn và dài. bởi khi sử dụng các từ loại này sẽ có cách chia khác
nhau.
– Tính từ dài và tính từ ngắn
Tính từ ngắn là các tính từ chỉ có một âm tiết như short, good, bad…. Hay
tính từ có hai âm tiết nhưng có kết thúc bằng –y, –le,–ow, –er, –et. Ví dụ
như clever, sweet… Còn tính từ có 3 âm tiết trở lên thì được chia vào nhóm
tính từ dài.
– Trạng từ dài và trạng từ ngắn
Trạng từ ngắn là trạng từ chỉ có một âm tiết chẳng hạn như hard, right,
far… Còn các trạng từ hai âm tiết trở lên như quickly, kindly là trạng từ
dài.
2. Các cấu trúc câu so sánh trong tiếng Anh
Trong tiếng Anh có 3 cách so sánh thường gặp nhất. Các dạng so sánh này
thường làm người học bnhầm lẫn. Hãy cùng TOPICA Native tìm hiểu về
cách sử dụng bạn nhé!
2.1 So sánh bằng
Công thức: S + V + as + (adj/ adv) + as
– Công thức này được sử dụng để so sánh hai người, hai việc, hai nhóm, hai
vật.. cùng tính chất. Trong một số trường hợp như câu phủ định bạn có th
sử dụng từ “so” “as” thay cho t tuy nhiên cách này thường ít được s
dụng.
I study English well as well as science subjectsTôi học giỏi môn
tiếng Anh cũng như các môn khoa học
This dress was as expensive as a month’s salary Cái váy này đắt
ngang ngửa với một tháng lương của
Her car is as fast as a racing car – Xe của cô ấy chạy nhanh như một
chiếc xe đua
– Ngoài ra, với cách so sánh bằng, nhiều người cũng thường sử dụng cấu
trúcthe same as” “the same . Tuy nhiên bạn cần chú ý không sử dụng
like”. Còn trái nghĩa với the same..as chính different from.
I am the same age as LanTôi bằng tuổi với Lan
French is as difficult as English = French is the same difficulty as
English – Tiếng Pháp khó như tiếng Anh = Tiếng Pháp cũng khó
như tiếng Anh
2
– less … than = not as/so…as. Còn khi nói gấp bao nhiêu lần bạn có thể sử
dụng cấu trúc câu: twice asas, three times as … as,…
Today is not as hot as yesterday – Hôm nay không nóng bằng hôm
qua
This dress is less expensive as the old one I bought Chiếc váy này
không đắt như chiếc cũ tôi mua.
Cấu trúc câu so sánh bằng trong ngữ pháp tiếng Anh
2.2 So sánh hơn
So sánh hơn được sử dụng để so sánh giữa người, vật này với vật khác.
– Công thức so sánh hơn với tính từ và trạng từ ngắn: S + V + (Adj/Adv) +
“-er” + than
Ví dụ:
Kin’s score is higher than his sistersĐiểm của Kin cao hơn chị
gái anh ấy
Today is hotter than yesterday – Hôm nay trời nóng hơn hôm qua
Lindy is taller than his sister – Lindy cao hơn em gái của mình
– Công thức so sánh hơn với tính từ và trạng từ dài: S + V + more +
Adj/Adv + than
Ví dụ:
He plays better than me – Anh ấy đá bóng giỏi hơn tôi
Lin speaks English more fluently than I do – Lin nói tiếng Anh trôi
chảy hơn tôi
This hat is more expensive than the others in the store – Chiếc
này đắt hơn những chiếc mũ khác trong cửa hàng
Để nhấn mạnhu bạn có thể thêm “ hoặc “ trước cụm từ so much” far”
sánh.
Lưu ý gì khi sử dụng câu so sánh
2.3 So sánh nhất
– Công thức so sánh nhất với tính từ và trạng từ ngắn: S + V + the +
Adj/Adv + -est
– Công thức so sánh nhất với tính từ và trạng từ dài: S + V + the + most +
Adj/Adv
Ví dụ:
She is the tallest in the houseCô ấy cao nhất trong nhà
Lin is the most beautiful in class – Lin xinh đẹp nhất lớp
Để bổ nghĩa cho so sánh nhất bạn có thể thêm au cụm từ so sánh. “by far” s
Ngoài ra bạnng có thể thêm ở trước cụm từ sonh để nhấn “very
mạnh ý nghĩa.
3
2.4 So sánh bội số
Là loại so sánh gấp rưỡi, gấp đôi, gấp 3. Nên nhớ rằng trong cấu trúc này
không được dùng so sánh hơn kém mà phải dùng so sánh bằng.
S+v+bội số+as
much
noun
many
as +
N/pronoun
Ví dụ:
This house costs twice as much as the other one. (Ngôi nhà này đắt
gấp đôi nhưng ngôi nhà khác)
Our company have three times as much information of project as
their. (Công ty của chúng tôi có số thông tin về dự án nhiều gấp 3
lần họ)
I has half as much money now as I had last year. (Tôi chỉ có số tiền
bằng một nửa số tôi có năm ngoái)
Lưu ý:
– Khi dùng so sánh loại này phải xác định rõ danh từ đó là đếm được hay
không đếm được vì đằng trước chúng có “much” và “many”.
– Các cấu trúc: twice that much/ many (gấp đôi số đó) chỉ được dùng
trong văn nói, tuyệt đối không được dùng trong văn viết.
Ví dụ:
We had expected eighty people at the meeting, but twice that many
showed up. (văn nói)
We had expected eighty people at the meeting, but twice as many as
that number showed up. (văn viết)
(Chúng tôi chỉ hi vọng 80 người có mặt tại biểu gặp mặt nhưng số lượng
người có mặt gấp đôi)
2.5 So sánh kép (càng ….thì càng)
Những câu này bắt đầu bằng một cấu trúc so sánh hơn, và do đó mệnh đề
thứ 2 cũng phải bắt đầu bằng một cấu trúc so sánh hơn.
– The + comparative + subject + verb + the comparative + subject + verb
Ví dụ:
The harder you study, the better your result will be (Bạn càng học
hành chăm chỉ thì kết quả càng tốt)
The sooner you wake up, the earlier you go to school (Bạn dậy càng
sớm bạn càng đến trường sớm)
The earlier you leave, the earlier you’ll be back (Bạn càng đi sớm
bạn càng về sớm)
– The more + subject +verb + the + comparative + subject + verb
The more he eats , the fatter he is. (Anh ta ăn càng nhiều t anh ta
càng béo)
The more I look into your eyes, the more I love you. (Càng nhìn vào
mắt bạn tôi càng thấy yêu bạn)
The bigger they are, the faster they fall. (Chúng càng to bao nhiêu
thì càng rơi nhanh bấy nhiêu)
3. Lưu ý khi sử dụng câu so sánh trong tiếng Anh
4
– Khi trạng từ và tính từ kết thúc bằng chữ “e” thì bạn chỉ cần thêm “r” nếu
đó là so sánh hơn hoặc “st” đối với so sánh nhất.
Ví dụ: Largelargerlargest
– Khi trạng từ, tính từ kết thúc bằng “y” thì bạn chuyển sang dạng “i” rồi
thêm est hoặc er.
Ví dụ: Pretty Prettier → Prettiest
– Khi trạng từ, tính từ kết thúc bằng một nguyên âm cộng với một phụ âm
thì bạn cần nhân đôi phụ âm cuối rồi sau đó thêm er hoặc est vào.
Ví dụ như: Hot → hotter → hottest
– Với các tính từ có hai âm tiết nhưng nó kết thúc bằng y, ow, er, et, el thì
khi so sánh bạn vẫn áp dụng các công thức so sánh của tính từ ngắn:
Ví dụ như: Quiet → quieter → quietest, Clevercleverer
→ cleverest
– Đối với một số trường hợp trạng từ chỉ có một âm tiết thì bạn vẫn áp dụng
công thức chia các từ theo so sánh hơn/so sánh nhất của trạng từ ngắn.
Ví dụ như: Fast (Adv) Nhanh → Faster/Fastest
Các từ so sánh bất quy tắc
– Từ gốc – So sánh hơn – So sánh nhất
good/well (Tốt) → better → best
little (Ít) → less → least
bad/badly (Tệ) → worse → worst
many/much (Nhiều) → more → most
far (xa) → further farther → furthest/farthest
– Để nhấn mạnh so sánh, có thể thêm much/far trước so sánh, công thức:
S + V + far/much + Adj/Adv_er + than + noun/pronoun
S + V + far/much + more + Adj/Adv + than + noun/pronoun
Ví dụ:
Harry’s watch is far more expensive than mine
He speaks English much more rapidly than he does Spanish.

Ngoài ra khi học cấu trúc câu so sánh bạn cần phân biệt được các trạng từ
sử dụng từ “so” thay cho từ “as” tuy nhiên cách này thường ít được sử
tính từ ngắn và dài. bởi khi sử dụng các từ loại này sẽ có cách chia khác dụng. nhau. 
I study English well as well as science subjects – Tôi học giỏi môn
– Tính từ dài và tính từ ngắn
tiếng Anh cũng như các môn khoa học 
This dress was as expensive as a month’s salary – Cái váy này đắt
Tính từ ngắn là các tính từ chỉ có một âm tiết như short, good, bad…. Hay
ngang ngửa với một tháng lương của cô 
Her car is as fast as a racing car – Xe của cô ấy chạy nhanh như một
tính từ có hai âm tiết nhưng có kết thúc bằng –y, –le,–ow, –er, –et. Ví dụ chiếc xe đua
như clever, sweet… Còn tính từ có 3 âm tiết trở lên thì được chia vào nhóm tính từ dài.
– Ngoài ra, với cách so sánh bằng, nhiều người cũng thường sử dụng cấu
trúc “the same as”. Tuy nhiên bạn cần chú ý không sử dụng “the same
– Trạng từ dài và trạng từ ngắn
like”. Còn trái nghĩa với the same..as chính là different from.
Trạng từ ngắn là trạng từ chỉ có một âm tiết chẳng hạn như hard, right, 
I am the same age as Lan – Tôi bằng tuổi với Lan
far… Còn các trạng từ có hai âm tiết trở lên như quickly, kindly là trạng từ 
French is as difficult as English = French is the same difficulty as dài.
English – Tiếng Pháp khó như tiếng Anh = Tiếng Pháp cũng khó như tiếng Anh 1
– less … than = not as/so…as. Còn khi nói gấp bao nhiêu lần bạn có thể sử 
This hat is more expensive than the others in the store – Chiếc mũ
này đắt hơn những chiếc mũ khác trong cửa hàng
dụng cấu trúc câu: twice as … as, three times as … as,…
Để nhấn mạnh câu bạn có thể thêm “much” hoặc “far” trước cụm từ so 
Today is not as hot as yesterday – Hôm nay không nóng bằng hôm qua sánh. 
This dress is less expensive as the old one I bought – Chiếc váy này
không đắt như chiếc cũ tôi mua.
Lưu ý gì khi sử dụng câu so sánh 2.3 So sánh nhất
Cấu trúc câu so sánh bằng trong ngữ pháp tiếng Anh 2.2 So sánh hơn
– Công thức so sánh nhất với tính từ và trạng từ ngắn: S + V + the + Adj/Adv + -est
So sánh hơn được sử dụng để so sánh giữa người, vật này với vật khác.
– Công thức so sánh nhất với tính từ và trạng từ dài: S + V + the + most +
– Công thức so sánh hơn với tính từ và trạng từ ngắn: S + V + (Adj/Adv) + Adj/Adv “-er” + than Ví dụ: Ví dụ: 
She is the tallest in the house – Cô ấy cao nhất trong nhà 
Kin’s score is higher than his sister’s – Điểm của Kin cao hơn chị 
Lin is the most beautiful in class – Lin xinh đẹp nhất lớp gái anh ấy 
Today is hotter than yesterday – Hôm nay trời nóng hơn hôm qua
Để bổ nghĩa cho so sánh nhất bạn có thể thêm “by far” sau cụm từ so sánh. 
Lindy is taller than his sister – Lindy cao hơn em gái của mình
Ngoài ra bạn cũng có thể thêm “very” ở trước cụm từ so sánh để nhấn
– Công thức so sánh hơn với tính từ và trạng từ dài: S + V + more + mạnh ý nghĩa. Adj/Adv + than Ví dụ: 
He plays better than me – Anh ấy đá bóng giỏi hơn tôi 
Lin speaks English more fluently than I do – Lin nói tiếng Anh trôi chảy hơn tôi 2 2.4 So sánh bội số
We had expected eighty people at the meeting, but twice as many as
that number showed up. (văn viết)
Là loại so sánh gấp rưỡi, gấp đôi, gấp 3. Nên nhớ rằng trong cấu trúc này
không được dùng so sánh hơn kém mà phải dùng so sánh bằng.
(Chúng tôi chỉ hi vọng 80 người có mặt tại biểu gặp mặt nhưng số lượng
người có mặt là gấp đôi) much as + noun S+v+bội số+as N/pronoun
2.5 So sánh kép (càng ….thì càng) many
Những câu này bắt đầu bằng một cấu trúc so sánh hơn, và do đó mệnh đề Ví dụ:
thứ 2 cũng phải bắt đầu bằng một cấu trúc so sánh hơn. 
This house costs twice as much as the other one. (Ngôi nhà này đắt
– The + comparative + subject + verb + the comparative + subject + verb
gấp đôi nhưng ngôi nhà khác) Ví dụ: 
Our company have three times as much information of project as
their. (Công ty của chúng tôi có số thông tin về dự án nhiều gấp 3 
The harder you study, the better your result will be (Bạn càng học lần họ)
hành chăm chỉ thì kết quả càng tốt) 
I has half as much money now as I had last year. (Tôi chỉ có số tiền 
The sooner you wake up, the earlier you go to school (Bạn dậy càng
bằng một nửa số tôi có năm ngoái)
sớm bạn càng đến trường sớm) 
The earlier you leave, the earlier you’ll be back (Bạn càng đi sớm Lưu ý: bạn càng về sớm)
– Khi dùng so sánh loại này phải xác định rõ danh từ đó là đếm được hay
– The more + subject +verb + the + comparative + subject + verb
không đếm được vì đằng trước chúng có “much” và “many”. 
The more he eats , the fatter he is. (Anh ta ăn càng nhiều thì anh ta càng béo)
– Các cấu trúc: twice that much/ many (gấp đôi số đó) chỉ được dùng 
The more I look into your eyes, the more I love you. (Càng nhìn vào
trong văn nói, tuyệt đối không được dùng trong văn viết.
mắt bạn tôi càng thấy yêu bạn) 
The bigger they are, the faster they fall. (Chúng càng to bao nhiêu Ví dụ:
thì càng rơi nhanh bấy nhiêu) 
We had expected eighty people at the meeting, but twice that many
3. Lưu ý khi sử dụng câu so sánh trong tiếng Anh showed up. (văn nói) 3
– Khi trạng từ và tính từ kết thúc bằng chữ “e” thì bạn chỉ cần thêm “r” nếu 
far (xa) → further farther → furthest/farthest
đó là so sánh hơn hoặc “st” đối với so sánh nhất.
– Để nhấn mạnh so sánh, có thể thêm much/far trước so sánh, công thức:
Ví dụ: Large → larger → largest
S + V + far/much + Adj/Adv_er + than + noun/pronoun
– Khi trạng từ, tính từ kết thúc bằng “y” thì bạn chuyển sang dạng “i” rồi
S + V + far/much + more + Adj/Adv + than + noun/pronoun thêm est hoặc er. Ví dụ:
Ví dụ: Pretty → Prettier → Prettiest 
Harry’s watch is far more expensive than mine
– Khi trạng từ, tính từ kết thúc bằng một nguyên âm cộng với một phụ âm 
He speaks English much more rapidly than he does Spanish.
thì bạn cần nhân đôi phụ âm cuối rồi sau đó thêm er hoặc est vào.
Ví dụ như: Hot → hotter → hottest
– Với các tính từ có hai âm tiết nhưng nó kết thúc bằng y, ow, er, et, el thì
khi so sánh bạn vẫn áp dụng các công thức so sánh của tính từ ngắn:
Ví dụ như: Quiet → quieter → quietest, Clever → cleverer → cleverest
– Đối với một số trường hợp trạng từ chỉ có một âm tiết thì bạn vẫn áp dụng
công thức chia các từ theo so sánh hơn/so sánh nhất của trạng từ ngắn.
Ví dụ như: Fast (Adv) Nhanh → Faster/Fastest
Các từ so sánh bất quy tắc
– Từ gốc – So sánh hơn – So sánh nhất 
good/well (Tốt) → better → best 
little (Ít) → less → least 
bad/badly (Tệ) → worse → worst 
many/much (Nhiều) → more → most 4
