His car runs as fast as a race car. John sings as well as his sister. Their house is as big as that one. His job is not as difficult as mine. They are as lucky as we. Nếu là câu phủ định, as thứ nhất có thể thay bằng so. He is not as tall as his father. He is not so tall as his father. Sau as phải là một đại từ nhân xưng chủ ngữ,nhưng không được là một đại từ nhân xưng làm chủ ngữ. Peter is as tall as I. (ĐÚNG) Peter is as tall as me. (SAI) Danh từ cũng có thể được dùng để so sánh, nhưng nên nhớ trước khi so sánh phải đảm bảo rằng danh từ đóphải có các tính từ tương đương. adjectives heavy, light wide, narrow deep, shallow long, short big, small nouns weight width depth length size Khi so sánh bằng danh từ, sử dụng cấu trúc sau: Truc Binh secondary school 10 Teaching plan for excellent students grade 8 S + V + the same + (noun) + as + {noun/ pronoun} My house is as high as his. My house is the same height as his. Chú ý rằng ngược nghĩa với the same...as là different from... Không bao giờ dùng different than. Sau đây là một số vớ dụ khac về so sánh bằng danh từ. These trees are the same as those. He speaks the same language as she. Her address is the same as Rita’s. Their teacher is different from ours. She takes the same course as her husband. 2 So sánh hơn kém 1.1.1 Trong loại so sánh này người ta chia làm hai dạng: tính từ và pho từ ngắn (chỉ có một hoặc hai âm tiết khi phát âm) và tính từ, phó từ dài (3 âm tiết trở lên). Khi so sánh không ngang bằng:  Đối với tính từ và pho từ ngắn chỉ cần cộng đuôi -er. (thick – thicker; coldcolder; quiet-quieter)  Đối với tính từ ngắn có một phụ âm tận cùng (trừ w,x,z) và trước đó là một nguyên âm, phải gấp đôi phụ âm cuối. (big-bigger; red-redder; hot-hotter)  Đối với tinh từ, pho từ dài, thêm more hoặc less trước tinh từ hoặc phú từ đó (more beautiful; more important; more believable).  Đối với tính từ tận cùng là phụ âm+y, phải đổi y thành -ier (happy-happier; drydrier; pretty-prettier).  Đối với tính từ có hậu tố -ed, -ful, -ing, -ish, -ous cũng biến đổi bằng cách thêm more cho dù là tính từ dài hay ngắn (more useful, more boring, more cautious)  Trường hợp đặc biệt: strong-stronger; friendly-friendlier than = more friendly than.  Chú ý khi đó dùng more thì không dùng hậu tố -er và ngược lại. các ví dụ sau là SAI: more prettier, more faster, more better Chú ý: Truc Binh secondary school 11 Teaching plan for excellent students grade 8 1. Chỉ một số pho từ là có duoi –er, bao gồm: faster, quicker, sooner, latter. 2. Nhớdùng dạng thức chủ ngữ của đại từ sau than, không được dựng dạng tân ngữ. Ví dụ về so sánh không ngang bằng: John’s grades are higher than his sister’s. Today is hotter than yesterday. This chair is more comfortable than the other. He speaks Spanish more fluently than I. (khụng dựng than me) He visits his family less frequently than she does. This year’s exhibit is less impressive than last year’s. So sánh không ngang bằng có thể được nhấn mạnh bằng cách thêm much hoặc far trước cụm từ so sánh A waterlemon is much sweeter than a a lemon. His car is far better than yours Henry’s watch is far more expensive than mine. That movie we saw last night was much more interesting than the one on TV. She dances much more artistically than her predecessor. He speaks English much more rapidly than he does Spanish. Danh từ cũng được dựng để diễn đạt pháp so sánh ngang bằng hoặc hơn/kém. Chú ý dùng tính từ bổ nghĩa cu`ng với danh từ đếm được hoặc không đếm được. He earns as much money as his brother. They have as few classes as we. Before payday, I have as little money as my brother. I have more books than she. February has fewer days than March. Their job allows them less fredom than ours does. Khi so sánh một người/ một vật với tất cả những người hoặc vật khác phải thêm else sau anything/anybody... He is smarter than anybody else in the class. Lưu ý:  Đằng sau as và than của mệnh đề so sánh có thể loại bỏ chủ ngữ nếu nó trùng hợp với chủ ngữ thứ nhất, đặc biệt là khi động từ sau than và as ở dạng bị động. Lúc này than và as cũng có thêm chức năng của một đại từ quan hệ thay thế. Their marriage was as stormy as had been expected Truc Binh secondary school 12 Teaching plan for excellent students grade 8 (Incorrect: as it had been expected). He worries more than was good for him. (Incorrect: than it/what was good for him).  Các tân ngữ cũng co thể bị loại bỏ sau các động từ ở mệnh đề sau THAN và AS: Don’t lose your passport, as I did last year. (Incorrect: as I did it last year). They sent more than I had ordered. (Incorrect: than I had ordered it). ( Lesson 11+ 12 - The tenses Preparing date: Teaching date: I/ Supply the correct verb form.
