STUPŇOVANIE PRÍDAVNÝCH MIEN

Remember! • Väčšinu prídavných mien stupňujeme pomocou koncovky – er v 2. stupni a – est v treťom stupni • V treťom stupni dávame pred príd. meno člen the.

1. • Väčšina prídavných mien sa stupňuje bez zmeny. • cold – colder – the coldest • small – smaller – the smallest

2. • Ak sa prídavné meno končí na –e, pridáme iba - r, - st. • nice – nicer – the nicest • large – larger – the largest

3. • Ak je prídavné meno jednoslabičné s jednou krátkou samohláskou, po ktorej ide jedna spoluhláska, túto spoluhlásku zdvojíme. • Big – bigger – the biggest • Wet – wetter – the wettest

4. • Ak sa prídavné meno končí na – y, zmeníme ho na – i. • happy – happier – the happiest • dry – drier – the driest

5. • Dvoj – a viacslabičné prídavné mená, okrem tých, ktoré sa končia na –y, sa stupňujú opisným spôsobom. • expensive – more expensive – the most expensive • interesting – more interesting – the most interesting

Výnimky! • • • good – better – the best bad – worse – the worst far – further – the furthest much – more – the most many – more – the most little – less – the least

• • • 2. stupeň slúži na porovnávanie Používame THAN I am taller than John. 3. stupeň vyjadruje naj – Používame. . . in the/my/our. . . I am the tallest in the class.

Prirovnania: As. . . as /taký. . . ako/ • Your bag is as nice as my bag. • I am as tall as my mum. • It is as cold as ice.
