1、比较级与最高级可以转换，意思不变。如： She is taller than any other girl in Class5. She is the tallest girl in Class5.
2、当某一事物与其它事物作比较时，被比较事物中不能包括本身。如： Shanghai is larger than any city in Hubei.
3、如果比较对象相同，可用 that\\those代替第二个比较对象 。如： The weather in Shanghai is better than that in Wuhan. 4、如果主语是物主代词+名词，那么后面要用名词性物主代词. eg: His shirt is more expensive than mine.

（4）不用比较急和最高级的形容词
注意：在一定的上下文中，形容词最高级后面的名词可省去处 eg: He is the youngest in the class.
