最高级的用法
①三者或三者以上相比,表示最高程度时,用“ the十最高级”的结构表示．这种句式一般常有表示比较范围的介词短语．例如：
Zhang Hua is the tallest of the three．
He works (the) hardest in his class.
②最高级可被序数词以及 much,by far,nearly,almost,by no means,not quite,not really,nothing like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． How much did the second most expensive hat coat?
③表示“最高程度”的形容词,如 excellent,extreme,perfect等,没有最高级,也不能用比较级．
④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．
⑤作状语的副词最高级前可以不加定冠词．例如
0f all the boys he came(the) earliest．
形容词最高级前通常要加定冠词the,而以下几种情况一般不需要加定冠词the:
1.形容词最高级前有序数词、物主代词、指示代词或名词所有格等限定词修饰时,最高级前不用the.如:
The Yellow River is the second longest river in China.黄河是中国第二长河.
2.形容词最高级在句中作表语而比较范围又不明确时,最高级前不用the.如:
They are happiest on Saturdays.他们在星期六最快乐.
3.如果两个形容词最高级并列修饰同一个名词时,第二个形容词最高级前不加the.如:
He is the youngest and tallest boy in his class.他是班上年龄最小、个子最高的男孩.
4.如果形容词最高级用来加强语气,作"十分;非常"之意时,前面不加the.但形容词最高级作单数名词的定语时,可用不定冠词a/an.如:
That book is most interesting.那本书非常有趣.
5.作宾语补足语的形容词最高级前不加the.如:
I found it most difficult to get to sleep.我发现入睡最难.
6.在一些固定用法中,最高级前通常省略the.如:
With best wishes for you.向你致以最美好的祝愿.

3）要注意对应句型,遵循前后一致的原则.
The population of Shanghai is larger than that of Beijing.

可修饰比较级的词

A. the happiest time B. a more happier time
C. much happiest time D. a much happier time
答案：D.
比较级和最高级一般都要一起讲吧
