注意事项:
1、最高级可被序数词或 much,far(much的跟屁虫)by far,nearly,almost,by no means,not quite,not really,nothing like,(rather不能修饰最高级)等词语所修饰。
例如:This hat is by far/much/nearly/almost/not nearly/by no means/not quite/nothing like the biggest.
2、表示“最高程度”的形容词,如 excellent,perfect等,没有最高级,也不能用比较级。
3、形容词最高级修饰作表语或介词宾语的名词、代词时,被修饰的词往往省略。
He is the tallest(boy) in his class.
