B. GRAMMAR (NGỮ PHÁP)
I. First conditional
Chức
Dùng để diễn tả một hành động có thể xảy ra ở hiện tại hoặc tương lai.
năng
If + S + V(s/es) + (bổ ngữ), S + will + V nguyên mẫu + (bổ ngữ).
Cấu trúc
(Thì Hiện tại đơn) (Thì Tương lai đơn)
Mệnh đề IF dùng thì hiện tại đơn, mệnh đề chính dùng thì tương lai đơn.
- If I have enough money, I will buy a new computer.
(Nếu tôi có đủ tiền thì tôi sẽ mua một chiếc máy tính mới.)
Ví dụ
- If you work hard, you will make a lot of money.
(Nếu bạn làm việc chăm chỉ thì bạn sẽ kiếm được nhiều tiền.)
Unless = If + not
If = Unless not
Ví dụ:
- If he doesn't do his homework, his mother will complain him.
=> Unless he does his homework, his mother will complain him.
- If you don't send her to the hospital, she will die.
=> Unless you send her to the hospital, she will die.
Lưu ý
Có thể dùng các động từ must, have to, can, may, should thay cho will trong
mệnh đề chính
Ví dụ:
- If it rains heavily, you can stay here.
(Nếu trời mưa to thì bạn có thể ở lại đây.)
- If you want to see that film, you must buy a ticket.
(Nếu bạn muốn xem bộ phim đó thì bạn phải mua vé.)
II. Comparative and superlative adjectives
1. Short adjectives (Tính từ ngắn)

* Form

Comparative
Superlative
S1 + to be + adj + er + than + S2
S + to be + the + adj + -est + (Danh từ)
Với tính từ ngắn, thêm đuôi “er” vào sau Với tính từ ngắn, thêm “the” trước tính từ và
tính từ
“est'' vào sau tính từ
Ví dụ:
Ví dụ:
- China is bigger than India.
- Russia is the biggest country in the world.
(Trung Quốc to lớn hơn Ấn Độ).
(Nga là đất nước lớn nhất trên thế giới.)
- Lan is shorter than Nam.
- My school is the biggest in the city.
(Lan thì thấp hơn Nam).
(Trường của tôi lớn nhất trong thành phố.)
- My house is bigger than your house.
- My father is the oldest person in my family.
(Nhà của tôi to hơn nhà của bạn).
(Bố tôi là người lớn tuổi nhất trong nhà.)
- His pen is newer than my pen.
- Quang is the tallest in his class.
(Bút của anh ấy mới hơn bút của tôi).
(Quang là người cao nhất trong lớp của anh ấy.)

Lưu ý:
Để nhấn mạnh ý trong câu so sánh hơn, ta thêm “much” hoặc “far” trước hình thức so sánh.
Ví dụ:
Her boyfriend is much/far older than her.
(Bạn trai của cô ấy lớn tuổi hơn cô ấy rất nhiều.)

2

1.1. Cách sử dụng tính từ trong câu so sánh hơn
* Cách thêm đuôi -er vào tính từ ngắn
Tính từ kết thúc bởi 1 phụ âm => thêm đuôi old - older
near - nearer
-er
Tính từ kết thúc bởi nguyên âm “e” => chỉ nice - nicer
cần thêm đuôi “r”
Tính từ kết thúc bởi 1 nguyên âm (u, e, o, a, big - bigger hot - hotter
i) + 1 phụ âm => gấp đôi phụ âm cuối và fat - fatter
fit - fitter
thêm đuôi -er
Tính từ kết thúc bởi “y”, dù có 2 âm tiết vẫn happy - happier
là tính từ ngắn => bỏ “y” và thêm đuôi “ier” pretty - prettier
Note: Một số tính từ có hai âm tiết kết thúc bằng “et, ow, le, er, y” thì áp dụng quy tắc thêm đuôi –
er như tính từ ngắn.
Ví dụ: quiet –> quieter
clever –> cleverer
simple –> simpler narrow –> narrower
* Một vài tính từ đặc biệt

Với một số tính từ sau, dạng so sánh hơn của chúng không theo quy tắc trên.
Tính từ
Good (tốt)
Bad (tệ)
Far (xa)
Much/ many (nhiều)
Little (ít)
Old (già, cũ)

Dạng so sánh hơn
Better
Worse
Farther/ further
More
Less
Older/elder

* Phân biệt “older” và “elder”
“Older” và “elder” đều được dùng như 2 tính từ so sánh hơn, khi muốn so sánh tu ổi tác c ủa hai
đối tượng. Tuy nhiên, “elder” thường được dùng khi muốn so sánh tuổi của các thành viên trong
gia đình. Elder ko được dùng trong mẫu “elder than”.
Trong mẫu câu so sánh hơn với “than”, luôn My brother is older than me. => đúng
dùng “older”
My brother is elder than me. => sai
This house is older than all the others in the
Khi so sánh 2 vật, luôn dùng “older”
street.
Nếu cùng gia đình:
Khi so sánh 2 người, cần cân nhắc xem hai My elder brother doesn't live with my parents.
người có cùng gia đình hay không.
Nếu không cùng gia đình:
The older girl is taking care of the younger.
1.2. Cách sử dụng tính từ ngắn trong câu so sánh nhất.
* Cách thêm đuôi –est vào tính từ ngắn
old – oldest
Tính từ kết thúc bởi 1 phụ âm, thêm đuôi cold – coldest
est
new – newest
Tính từ kết thúc bởi nguyên âm “e”, chỉ cần
nice – nicest
thêm đuôi “st”
Tính từ kết thúc bởi 1 nguyên âm (u, e, o, a,
big – biggest
i) + 1 phụ âm, gấp đôi phụ âm cuối và thêm
fat – fattest
đuôi -est
happy – happiest
Tính từ kết thúc bởi “y”, dù có 2 âm tiết vẫn
pretty – prettiest
là tính từ ngắn, bỏ “y” và thêm đuôi “iest”
early – earliest
3

near – nearest
tall – tallest

hot – hottest
fit – fittest
busy – busiest
easy – easiest

Lưu ý: Một số tính từ có 2 âm tiết nhưng có tận cùng là “ y, le, ow, er” thì áp dụng quy tắc thêm
đuôi -est của tính từ ngắn.
Ví dụ: simple – simplest
narrow – narrowest clever – cleverest
* Một vài tính từ bất quy tắc
Với một số tính từ sau, dạng so sánh nhất của chúng khác với các tính từ khác.
Tính từ
Dạng so sánh nhất
good (tốt)
best
bad (tệ)
worst
far (xa)
farthest/furthest
much/many (nhiều)
most
little (ít)
least
old (già)
oldest/ eldest
2. Long adjectives (Tính từ dài)
* Form
Comparative
S1 + to be + more + adj + than + S2
Với tính từ dài, thêm “more'' trước tính từ
Ví dụ:
- Gold is more valuable than silver.
(Vàng có giá trị hơn bạc).
- Hanh is more beautiful than Hoa.
(Hạnh thì xinh hơn Hoa).
- Your book is more expensive than his
book.
(Quyển sách của bạn đắt hơn quyển sách
của anh ấy.)
- Exercise 1 is more difficult than exercise 2.
(Bài tập số 1 khó hơn bài tập số 2).

Superative
S + to be + the most + adj + + (Danh từ)
Với tính từ dài, ta cần thêm “ the most” vào
trước tính từ.
Ví dụ:
This exercise is the most difficult.
(Bài tập này là khó nhất.)
This is the most interesting film I've ever
seen.
(Đây là bộ phim hay nhất tôi từng xem.)
Ngoc is the most intelligent student.
(Ngọc là học sinh thông minh nhất.)

Để nhấn mạnh ý trong câu so sánh nhất, ta thêm “much” hoặc “by far” vào sau hình thức so sánh.
Ví dụ: He is the most famous by far.
(Anh ấy nổi tiếng nhất hơn mọi người nhiều)
Tính từ
famous (nổi tiếng)
important (quan trọng)
beautiful (xinh đẹp)
boring (nhàm chán)

Dạng so sánh nhất
the most famous (nổi tiếng nhất)
the most important (quan trọng nhất)
the most beautiful (xinh đẹp nhất)
