Прикметник (the adjective)
Прикметник – частина мови, що позначає ознаку предмета. Прикметники в англійській мові не змінюються ні за числами, ні за родами, ні за відмінками:
a round table круглий стіл
round tables круглі столи
a young man молодий чоловік
a young woman молода жінка
an old worker старий робітник
an old worker's son син старого робітника
Прикметники в англійській мові змінюються лише за ступенями порівняння. Якісні прикметники в англійській мові мають основну форму (the positive degree), вищий ступінь порівняння (the comparative degree) і найвищий (the superlative degree).
Форми вищого і найвищого ступенів порівняння прикметників можуть бути, як і в українській мові, простими і складеними.
Прості форми ступенів порівняння утворюються додаванням до основної форми прикметника закінчення -еr у вищому і -est [ist] у найвищому ступені. Перед прикметником у найвищому ступені, що виконує функцію означення, завжди вживається означений артикль the:
cold colder the coldest (day)
холодний холодніший найхолодніший
Складені форми ступенів порівняння утворюються додаванням до основної форми прикметника слова more більш у вищому ступені і most найбільший – у найвищому.
dangerous more dangerous the most dangerous (thing)
небезпечний більш небезпечний найнебезпечніший
Прості форми ступенів порівняння мають:
а) усі односкладові прикметники:
short shorter the shortest
б) двоскладові прикметники, що закінчуються на -у, -ег, -le,-ow:
heavy heavier the heaviest
clever cleverer the cleverest
simple simpler the simplest
narrow narrower the narrowest
в) двоскладові прикметники з наголосом на другому складі:
polite politer the politest
severe severer the severest
Складені форми ступенів порівняння мають усі багатоскладові прикметники (з кількістю складів більше двох), а також двоскладові прикметники з наголосом на першому складі, крім тих, що закінчуються на - у, -er, -ie, -ow:
difficult more difficult the most difficult
famous more famous the most famous
Примітка. Прикметники, ступені порівняння яких зазвичай утворюються за допомогою закінчень -ег, -est, можуть мати також складені форми ступенів порівняння, але вони вживаються дуже рідко, здебільшого з метою підсилення.
Ступені порівняння прикметників good добрий, хороший і bad поганий утворилися від інших коренів:
good better he best
bad worse the worst
Прикметники old старий та far далекий мають дві форми вищого й найвищого ступеня:
old older, elder the oldest, the eldest
far farther, further the furthest, the farthest
Форми elder і eldest вживаються, коли йдеться про членів однієї сім'ї (my elder brother мій старший брат), але якщо при порівнянні є слово than ніж, то вживається форма older, а не elder (he is three years older than his sister).
Обидві форми farther і further вживають, коли говорять про відстань, further, крім того, має ще значення дальший, наступний.
