文字稿

Hi, I'm Roy and today I'm going to tell you about using comparatives to say that someone or something is changing or developing.

So, the structure is like this:

Comparative + and + the same comparative.

So we put the 'and' in the middle of the two comparative adjectives.

Every year, I look older and older.

Don't forget that with adjectives of two or more syllables, like 'beautiful', we use the word 'more' + an adjective to make the comparative. We don't add '–er'.

With these, we add the 'and' in the middle of the two 'more's, for example:

Every day, my wife Luciana gets more and more beautiful.

Anyway, that's everything for today. I'm getting hungrier and hungrier, so I've got to go. Bye.

用法總結(jié)

1. 我們可以使用 “形容詞比較級 + and + 重復(fù)該形容詞比較級” 的結(jié)構(gòu)來表達 “越來越……”。

• Every year, I look older and older.
• I'm getting hungrier and hungrier.
• These trees will continue to grow bigger and bigger.

2. 有兩個或以上音節(jié)的形容詞比較級通常為 “more + 形容詞原形”。在這種情況下，我們用 “more + and + more + 形容詞” 的結(jié)構(gòu)來表達 “越來越……”。

• Every day, my wife Luciana gets more and more beautiful.
• I found the show more and more interesting as time went on.
