[析] 在as…as结构中要将修饰形容词的数量词倍数及nearly, almost, exactly… 等置于第一个as之前。
[误] He is same age as Tom.
[正] He is the same age as Tom.
[析] the same…as是固定的用法,其中定冠词the是不可省也不能换成别的词的。
[误] Mother and her daughter are exactly like.
[正] Mother and her daughter are exactly alike.
like 作为介词,其意为"像",应用于 look like, be like, sound like, 其后要加宾语。而alike是形容词,或副词,如: You and I think alike. The twins are dressed alike。 但alike 仅作表语而不能用于名词前作定语。
[误] Who is taller of the two?
[正] Who is the taller of the two?
[析] 两者的比较级之前要加定冠词。
[误] I have less books than Tom.
[正] I have fewer books than Tom.
[析] less 是 little的比较级,而fewer是few的比较级。less后应加不可数名词而fewer后是可数名词。
[误] There are three girls in my group. The cleverer is Mary.
[正] There are three girls in my group. The cleverest is Mary.
[析] 在两者之间应用比较级,在三者之间或三者以上的范围内应用最高级。
[误] The boy sat there as quiet as his sister.
[正] The boy sat there as quietly as his sister.
[析] as…as的用法要注意的是:①在其中间应加形容词或副词的原级,而不可加比较级,也有的语法书中称为同级比较。②要根据句意决定是加形容词还是副词,这要看它具体是修饰动词还是名词而定,如:He is as good as his friend.
[误] The harder you study, and you can learn more.
[正] The harder you study, the more you can learn.
