The grammar is difficult? Boring? Many people are discouraged by grammar, but it’s just because you don’t know how to do it! Today, let’s try a different approach, no need to memorize, learn grammar with ease. Let’s start by looking at the following question, can you get it right?
It’s time for the most exciting question time again! Is this question more basic? This question mainly tests everyone’s proficiency in commonly used adjectives and comparative forms of adjectives. Let’s first take a look at three adjectives that express “good” mentioned in the choices.
What’s the difference between them? First of all, the first “well” is mostly used as an adverb to modify a verb. But when it’s used as an adjective, it mostly refers to a person’s state or physical condition, for example, if we have a cold and want to tell someone that we don’t feel very good, you can express it like this in English, “I don’t feel very well.” Here, well refers to the person’s state of health.
Having talked about “well,” let’s move on to the adjective nice. It’s generally used to describe a person or the appearance of things, meaning “good-looking,” “beautiful,” or “good-looking.” You can use this word when complimenting someone’s looks, you can say, “You look very nice.” nice refers to the person’s appearance being good-looking.
Finally, the word good can be said to be the most common adjective that expresses “good.” How is it different from the other two? We just learned that nice represents a good appearance, and its opposite, good, refers to a person’s internal goodness, good character, or the quality of things. For example, praising our teacher: Our teacher is so good. Here, good means the teacher is very good.
In addition, good can also be used to greet others, such as “good morning,” “good afternoon,” and so on. Have you all got it? Next, let’s summarize:
After distinguishing the three adjectives that express “good,” now let’s discuss another very important point—comparative and superlative forms. Adjectives generally have their own comparative and superlative forms, with the comparative form expressing “more…” and the superlative form expressing “the most…”. Let’s take good for example, its comparative form is better and its superlative form is best. For example:
In the first sentence, “get + comparative form of adjective + and + comparative form of adjective” means “more and more…,” and this fixed expression is very common in speaking and writing, so remember it~ In the second sentence, best is the superlative form of good, indicating that the movie is the best.
After learning these two grammar points about adjectives, let’s take another look at the question! Can you get it right this time?
Let’s translate the question first to facilitate analysis:
This cake looks…
Yes, it tastes more…
First, we can see that the subject of the first sentence is something, and it talks about “looks,” so what’s needed is a word that modifies the appearance of something, do you remember which one? That’s right! It’s nice. So we can eliminate options A and C first.
Next, let’s take a look at options B and D. In the second sentence, it talks about how something tastes, and a word that modifies the internal aspect of something “good” is needed, and the word “more” in the ending reminds us to use the comparative form, which is the comparative form of good, “better.” So the correct answer is option B! Did you get it right?
So that’s all we have for today, we learned together the three commonly used adjectives that express “good”, as well as comparative and superlative forms of adjectives. Did you all remember that? If you found this helpful, remember to like and bookmark it~ See you next time!
