構(gòu)成方法：

(1) 一般在詞尾加-est.

(2) 以字母e結(jié)尾的形容詞/副詞，直接加-st.

(3) 以重讀閉音節(jié)結(jié)尾的形容詞/副詞，應(yīng)先雙寫該字母，再加-est. （注：常用的有五個big fat hot thin red,可以這樣記：大胖子熱瘦子是紅色的）

(4) 多音節(jié)詞和部分雙音節(jié)詞 在詞前加most

注意：形容詞的最高級前一般要加定冠詞the, 而副詞的最高級前則可加也可不加the。

many/much---- more----most

good/ well----better----best

little ---- less----least

bad/badly---- worse----worst

far---- farther----farthest（距離）
