Reguli:
în funcție de numărul de silabe din care sunt formate adjectivele, acestea se pot compara
în 2 feluri:
1. COMPARAȚIE SINTETICĂ
comparativul de superioritate și superlativul relativ se formează adăugând la adjectivul
aflat la gradul pozitiv sufixele -er, respective -est. E.g.: short, shorter, the shortest.
comparativul de egalitate se formează din adjectivul aflat la gradul pozitiv, precedat și
urmat de conjuncția as E.g.: as short as.
comparativul de inferioritate se formează din adjectivul flat la gradul pozitiv, precedat
de not so/ as și urmat de as. E.g.: not as short as.
superlativul absolut se formează din adjectivul la gradul pozitiv, precedat de adverbele
very (foarte), terribly (teribil de), extremely (extreme de), etc. E.g.: very short.
2. COMPARAȚIA ANALITICĂ
comparativul de superioritate și superlativul relativ se formează din adjectivul aflat la
gradul pozitiv precedat de adverbele more și the most. E.g.: beautiful, more beautiful,
the most beautiful.
comparativul de egalitate și superlativul absolut se formează urmând regulile
aplicabile la comparația sintetică. E.g.: as beautiful as.
comparativul de inferioritate se formează din adjectivul aflat la gradul pozitiv precedat
de adverbul less. E.g.: less beautiful than.
Comparația neregulată a adjectivelor
POZITIV COMPARATIV SUPERLATIV
Good Better The best
Bad Worse The worst
Much More The most
Little Less The least
Old Older The oldest
elder The eldest
Far further The furthest
Late later The latest
E.g.: His car is old, but hers is older. I lost my pencil, can you lend me yours?
2.6.3. Pronumele și adjectivele nehotărâte
Definiție: Pronumele nehotărâte nu au un substantiv anume pe care să-l înlocuiască. Chiar şi
atunci când se referă la cineva/ ceva identificabil, referirea se face în general prin formele: toţi,
unii, nici unii, cineva. Pronumele nehotărâte pot fi clasificate drept pronume doar atunci când
sunt folosite pe cont propriu. Dacă le alăturăm un substantiv atunci devin adejective nehotărâte.
Propoziții afirmative (+) Propoziții interogative (?) Propoziții negative (-)
Some = ceva, niște, câțiva, Any = ceva, niște, câțiva, No = niciun, nicio, nici un fel
câteva, unii, unele câteva, unii, unele de, deloc
Any = orice, oricare Some = ceva, niște, câțiva, Any = niciun, nicio, nici un fel
câteva de
Observații:
În propozițiile interogative, când cerem sau oferim ceva și dorim ca răspunsul să fie
afirmativ se utilizează some. E.g.: May I help you with some tea?
Any este utilizat în propozițiile negative când verbul este la forma sa negativă.
E.g.: There isn’t any tea in the cup.
No și compușii săi se folosesc în propozițiile afirmative când verbul este la forma
afirmativă. E.g.: There is no tea in the cup.
Compușii lui some, any, no și every
BODY ONE THING WHERE

ANY anybody anyone anything anywhere
cineva (?) cineva (?) ceva (?) undeva (?)
nimeni (-) nimeni (-) nimic (-) nicăieri (-)
oricine (+) oricine (+) orice (+) oriunde (+)
NO nobody no one nothing nowhere
nimeni (-) nimeni (-) nimic (-) nicăieri (-)
EVERY everybody everyone everything everywhere
fiecare, toți, toată lumea fiecare, toți, toată lumea totul pretutindeni
E.g.: There is some tea in the cup. Some say he is very god.
Is there any tea in the cup? Are any of those students yours friends?
2.6.4. Pronumele și adjectivele interogative
Definiție: Pronumele interogative se folosesc pentru a pune întrebări. Acestea pot fi clasificate
drept pronume doar atunci când sunt folosite pe cont propriu. Dacă le alăturăm un substantiv
atunci devin adejective interogative.

add any further information that you think could help your
case.
CLOSING PARAGRAPH Give your availability for interview, thank them for their
consideration, restate your interest and close the letter.
A LETTER OF ENQUIRY

making an approach without their having advertised or announced a vacancy.
OPENING PARAGRAPH Introduce yourself briefly and give your reason for writing.
Let them know of the kind of position you are seeking, why
you are interested and how you heard about them.
PARAGRAPH 2 Show why their company in particular interests you,
