CẤU TRÚC SO SÁNH HƠN CỦA TRẠNG TỪ NGẮN

1. Trạng từ ngắn (Short adverbs)

 Là trạng từ có một âm tiết, không tận cùng bằng -ly, các hình thứ so sánh giống hệt như tính từ: thêm -er để
so sánh hơn và thêm -est để so sánh nhất.

2. Công thức: S + (not) V + adv + er + than + noun/ pronoun/ clause

Ví dụ: This morning, Susan went to school later than I did. (Sáng nay, Susan đến trường muộn hơn tôi.)

Why does Tim study harder than he did? (Tại sao Tim lại học hành chăm chỉ hơn lúc trước vậy?)

3. Quy tắc thêm đuôi “er”

- Nếu trạng từ ngắn có 1 âm tiết, ta thêm “-er” vào cuối trạng từ. Nếu trạng từ có tận cùng là “-e” ta chỉ cần
thêm “-r” vào cuối trạng từ.

Ví dụ: Hard (chăm chỉ) -> harder (chăm chỉ hơn), late (muộn) -> later (muộn hơn), high (cao) -> higher (cao hơn),…

- Trạng từ kết thúc bằng một phụ âm (p, t, f, n, h, …), trước nó là một nguyên âm (u, e, o, a, i) thì ta cần gấp
đôi phụ âm cuối trước khi thêm đuôi “er”.

Ví dụ: Fast (nhanh) ⇒ Faster (nhanh hơn), High (cao) ⇒ Higher (cao hơn)

- Còn đối với trạng từ 2 âm tiết, kết thúc băng đuôi “-y” thì ta chuyển “y” thành “i” và thêm đuôi “er”

Ví dụ: Early (sớm) ⇒ Earlier (sớm hơn)

- Các trường hợp ngoại lệ trong ngữ pháp tiếng Anh:

o Well (tốt/ giỏi) ⇒ Better (tốt hơn/ giỏi hơn)

o Badly (tồi tệ/ xấu) ⇒ Worse (tồi tệ hơn/ xấu hơn)

o Much (nhiều) ⇒ More (nhiều hơn)

o Little (ít) ⇒ Less (ít hơn)

o Far (xa) ⇒ Farther/Further (xa hơn)
