形容詞: the + 最高級 + 比較範圍

1) the sahara is the biggest desert in the world.
  形容詞最高級前通常必須用定冠詞 the,副詞最高級前可不用。
  形容詞most前面沒有the,不表示最高級的含義,只表示"非常"。
 it is a most important problem.
=it is a very important problem.
注意: 使用最高級要注意將主語包括在比較範圍內。
  (錯) tom is the tallest of his three brothers.
  (對) tom is the tallest of the three brothers.

2) 下列詞可修飾最高級,by far, far, much, mostly, almost
 this hat is nearly / almost the biggest.
注意:
 a.  very可修飾最高級,但位置與much不同。
  this is the very best.
  this is much the best.
 b.  序數詞通常只修飾最高級。
  africa is the second largest continent.

3) 句型轉換:
mike is the most intelligent in his class.
mike is more intelligent than any other students in his class.

4) "否定詞語+比較級","否定詞語+ so… as"結構表示最高級含義。
  nothing is so easy as this.
