bright brighter brightest
以字母e结尾的形容词分别添加r和st:
brave braver bravest
三个或三个以上音节的形容词在构成比较级和最高级时,在该词原级前分别加副词more和most:
interested more interested most interestedfrightening more frightening most frightening双音节形容词按上述两条规则之一变化。以ful或re结尾的词通常添加more和most:
doubtful 1 more doubtful most doubtful
obscure 2 more obscure most obscure
以er,y或ly结尾的通常加er和est:
clever cleverer cleverest
pretty prettier prettiest(注意y变成i)
silly sillier silliest
不规则的变化有:

further furthest(用处较广;参见F,G)

farther/farthest和further/furthest
这些形式都可以指距离:

York is the farthest/furthest town.
约克是(离这里)最远的城市。

(在最后一个句子中farthest/furthest是代名词。)further同样可以指“另外的/更多的”,主要和抽象名词一起用:
