PHẦN I. LÝ THUYẾT
Khi cần diễn tả những ý nghĩ như “càng…. càng…” người ta dùng thể so sánh kép (double comparative). Thể so sánh kép được tạo thành tùy theo số lượng ý mà ta muốn diễn đạt.
*Nếu chỉ có 1 ý:
- Đối với tính từ ngắn: Adj/ adv ngắn-er + and + adj/adv ngắn-er
Ví dụ: It is getting hotter and hotter. (Trời càng ngày càng nóng)
- Đối với tính từ dài: More and more + adj/adv dài
Ví dụ: The storm became more and more violent. (Cơn bão càng ngày càng dữ dội)
*Nếu có 2 ý:
- Đối với tính từ ngắn: The + adj/ adv ngắn-er + S + V, The + adj/ adv ngắn-er + S + V
Ví dụ: The taller she gets, the thinner she is. (Cô ấy càng cao, cô ấy càng gầy.)
- Đối với tính từ dài: The + more + adj/ adv dài + S + V, The + more + adj/ adv ngắn + S + V
Ví dụ: The more beautiful she is, the more attractive she gets. (Cô ấy càng xinh cô ấy càng thu hút.)
*The more + S + V, the more + S + V
