1、 形容词的用法
形容词是用来修饰、描绘名词的,通常在句中作定语、表语或宾补,有时还可作状语。如:

某些形容词与定冠词连用表示一类人作主语时,谓语通常用复数形式。如:

The English like to be with their families.
多个形容词作定语修饰名词的顺序:
冠词+序数词+基数词+性质状态(描述性)+形状大小+新旧老少+颜色+国籍+材料+名词。如:
the second five interesting big new red Chinese wall papers.
2、 形容词比较等级的形式
(1) 规则形式
一般说来,单音节词及少数双音节词在后加-er; -est 来构成比较级和最高级;其他双音节词及多音节词在前加more, most.如:
great-greater-greatest
busy-busier-busiest
important-more important-(the) most important
(2) 不规则形式
good (well)-better-best
bad (ill)-worse-worst
many (much)-more-most
little-less-least
(3) 形容词比较等级的用法
①表示两者的比较,用形容词的比较级+than. 如:

This one is more beautiful than that one.
②表示两者以上的比较,用"the +形容词最高级(+名词)+of(in) …"如:
He is the cleverest boy in his class.
③表示两者是同等程度,用"as +形容词原级+as". 如:
He is as tall as I.
I have as many books as you.
④ 越… 越…
例如:The more I learn, the happier I am.
⑤ You can never be too careful. 越小心越好
又如:You can never praise the teacher too highly.

A When I take more medicine
B The more medicine I take
C Taking more of the medicine
D More medicine taken
