6. Li Ying is not as good at sports as her sister.

　　 (1)as…as…同级比较，两个“as”之间必须使用形容词或副词原级。意为“如同……一样…”，not as / so …as“不如…一样…”

4. We both have black eyes and black hair, although my hair is shorter than hers.

　　 (1)both“两个、两者都…”，在句中可作代词、形容词、副词、连词。作副词时常放在be动词之后，实义动词之前。

　　 e.g. Both (of)his parents are doctors. (作代词或形容词)

　　 注：both指两者都，all指三者或三者以上都。

　　 (2)although与though常可互换，表“虽然、即使、尽管”，都不能与but用于一句话中。但though用得更普遍。此外though可作副词，在句尾表“然而”，although不能。固定短语是even though表“即使、纵然”，不能用even although.

2. I’m funnier than Tara. And I’m more outgoing.

　　 (1)形容词比较级用法：

　　 形容词比较级用法用于两者之间的比较，表示一方比另一方“更…”或“较…”，后常跟比较连词than表被比较的对象。为避免重复than引导的从句中有些与主句相同的部分常省略，而把相比较部分突出。另外，在上下文中，形容词比较级也可单独使用。注意：than后常跟名词，但这是由于than引导的比较状语从句省略了与主句相同的部分。在进行比较时，一定要注意比较对象要对等。

　　 e.g. His hair is longer than his father’s.

　　 = He has longer hair than his father.

　　 It’s hotter in Shanghai than in Beijing.

　　 China is bigger than any other country in Asia. (any other “任何一个”)

　　 (2)形容词比较级的构成：

　　 形容词分原级、比较级、最高级。通常形容词的比较级为规则变化，在词尾加-er，以不发音的e结尾的单音节词和少数以-le结尾的双音节词直接加－r，(以辅音加y结尾的变y为i加－er，重读闭音节以辅音字母结尾的双写结尾的辅音加-er)。有的双音节和多音节的词，在词前加more构成比较级。此外还有个别词为不规则变化，例：good / well - better / best, bad / ill - worse - worst, little - less - least, old - older / elder - oldest / eldest, many / much- more - most, far -farther / further-farthest / furthest

　　 (3)在形容词比较级前还可用much, even, still, a little来修饰，表示“…的多”“甚至…”“更…”“…一些”。

　　 e.g. This city is much more beautiful than before.

　　 She’s a little more outgoing than me.

　　 It’s a little colder today.

　　 (4)“比较级+and+比较级”意为“越来越…”注：多音节比较级用“more and more+形容词原级”形式。

　　 It’s getting worse and worse.

　　 The group became more and more popular.

　　 (5)“Which / Who is + 比较级…？”比较A、B两事物，问其中哪一个较…时用此句型。

　　 e.g. Which T-shirt is nicer, this one or that one?

　　 Who is more active, Mary or Kate?

　　 Which one is more popular among students, going to concerts or going to movies?

1. Do you think you are different from Tara?

　　 Because he likes to do the same things as I do.

　　 (be)different from

　　 (be)the same …as

　　 e.g. His life style is quite different from ours.

　　 The twin sisters look the same.

　　 We read the same book as you showed us last time.
