tính từ. far”.

The blue house is far larger than the green one. (Anh ấy tuyệt vời nhất, hơn mọi người nhiều.)

3. Cấu trúc câu so sánh bằng (positive form)

So sánh bằng tiếng Anh không hề khó. So sánh bằng dùng để so sánh 2 người, 2 vật, 2 việc, 2 nhóm đối tượng cùng tính chất.
Được thành lập bằng cách thêm “as” vào trước, sau tính từ hoặc trạng từ.
(+) S + to be/ V + as + adj/ adv + as + (S + tobe/ V) + O
(-) S + to be/ V + not + as + adj/ adv + as + O
Ex:
Water is as cold as ice. (Nước lạnh như đá.)
Is the party as fun as she expected? (Bữa tiệc có vui như cô ấy mong đợi không?)
Lara is not as charming as he thought. (Lara không quyến rũ như anh ấy nghĩ.)
Trong câu phủ định “so” có thể được dùng thay cho “as”
Ex:
Your dog is not as/so pretty as mine. (Con chó của bạn không đẹp bằng con chó của tôi.)
I can’t draw as/ so beautifully as her. (Tôi không thể vẽ đẹp bằng cô ấy.)
Với cách so sánh bằng tiếng Anh, so sánh bằng nhau cũng có thể được diễn đạt bằng cấu trúc “the same as”
S + to be + the same + (noun) + as + noun/ pronoun
Ex:
The red book is as expensive as the white one = The red book is the same price as the white one. (Cuốn sách đỏ có giá bằng
với cuốn sách trắng.)
English is as difficult as Chinese = English is the same difficulty as Chinese (Tiếng Anh với tiếng Trung Quốc có độ khó tương
đương nhau.)
* Lưu ý:
Dùng “the same as” chứ không dùng “the same like”.
Ex:
How old are you? – I am the same age as Tom. (không dùng “the same like”)
(Bạn bao nhiêu tuổi? – Tôi bằng tuổi với Tom.)
Less … than = not as/ so … as
Ex:
Today is less cold than yesterday. (Hôm nay không lạnh bằng hôm qua.)
= Today isn’t as/ so cold as yesterday.
This sofa is less comfortable than that one. (Chiếc sofa này không thoải mái bằng chiếc kia.)
= This sofa isn’t as comfortable as that one.
Khi nói gấp bao nhiêu lần, ta dùng cấu trúc: twice as … as, three times as … as, …
Ex:
Linh types twice as fast as me. (Linh đánh máy nhanh gấp đôi tôi.)
Her book costs three times as much as mine. (Sách của cô ta đắt gấp 3 lần sách tôi.)
