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．
