初中英语知识点：常见形容词用法比较
1.elder和older ①elder为"年长的"，只指人，用来比较年龄长幼，尤指兄弟姐妹的长幼关系，它只能用在名词前作定语，不能用于than引导的比较状语从句中。如： Jordan has two elder brothers and an elder and a younger sister. ②older为"年龄较大的，较老的，较旧的"，可指人，也可指物，作定语或表语，能用在than引导的比较状语从句中。 My elder brother is 7 years older than my younger sister. 2.good和well good和well都表示"好"。通常，作定语或表语时用good，作状语时用well；表示"身体好的"用well. Doing sports is good for us. 做运动对我们有益。（作表语） Sandy dances well and she is a good dancer. 桑迪舞跳得好，她是个出色的舞者。(well作状语,good作定语) ---How are you---I am very well. （作表语，表示"身体好的"） 3.huge, big, large,和great 1)huge强调尺寸、体积"庞大"（指体积时，比large, great所指的体积大），容量和数量"巨大"，不强调重量。 About ten years ago scientists from the United States found that the large object caused a huge hole in Mexico. 2)big最通俗、常用，强调比正常程度、范围及规模的标准大，修饰人、物或数量。反义词是little或small My best friend is Xiao Li, but last week in school we had a big fight. 3)large强调远远超过标准的"大"，可指数量、容量、体积和面积，比big正式，反义词是small. So it is proved that the large object had a close relation with the death of dinosaurs and other animals. 4)great通常指抽象的事物。可表数量、距离和程度，修饰人时，意为"伟大的"。 This is a great chance that many people do not have.
