COMPARISON OF ADJECTIVES AND ADVERBS: REVIEW 
I. COMPARISON OF ADJECTIVES 
1) Comparative of adjectives (So sánh hơn với tính từ) 
- So sánh hơn chỉ sử dụng khi có hai người, hai sự vật, hoặc hai sự việc nào đó đi đưa ra để 
so sánh. 
- Khi dùng so sánh thì phải có tính từ đi kèm vào. 
Tính từ được chia làm hai loại: tính từ ngắn và tính từ dài. 
 + Tính từ ngắn là tính từ có một âm tiết ví dụ như: strong, big, nice ... Tuy nhiên tính có 
hai âm tiết tận cùng bằng y, er, le, ow, some cũng được xem là tính từ ngắn, ví dụ 
handsome, simple, narrow, pretty, clever.... 
 + Tính từ dài là tính từ có từ hai âm tiết trở lên. 
a) Cấu trúc so sánh hơn của tính từ ngắn: S + be + adj-er than + N 
Ví dụ: Your house is bigger than Lan's house. (Nhà của bạn thì lớn hơn nhà của Lan.) 
 The life in the country is simpler than that in the city. (Cuộc sống ở nông thôn thì 
giản dị hơn cuộc sống ở thành thị.) 
b) Cấu trúc so sánh hơn của tính từ dài: S + be + more +adj- than + N 
Ex: She is more beautiful than her younger sister. (Cô ấy đẹp hơn em gái của mình.) 
 This chair is more comfortable than that chair. (Cái ghế này thì thoải mái hơn cái ghế 
kia.) 
P 2 
- Trước so sánh hơn của tính từ, chúng ta có thể sử dụng a bit, a little, much, a lot far (= a 
lot). 
Ví dụ: You should go to there by bus. lt costs much cheaper. (Bạn nên đi đến đó bằng xe 
buýt. Nó rẻ hơn nhiều.) 
2) Superlative of adjectives/adverbs (So sánh nhất với tính từ/trạng từ) 
- So sánh nhất chỉ sử dụng khi có từ ba người, ba sự vật, ba sự việc trở lên để so sánh nhằm 
đưa ra mức độ lớn nhất đối với những cái khác. 
- Câu trúc so sánh nhất của tính từ: 
- S + be + the + adj-est 
S + be + the + most +adj 
Ex: Mai is the most beautiful girl in this class.(Mai là cô gái xinh dẹp nhất lớp.) 
Nhung is the shortest of the three sisters. (Nhung là người thấp nhất trong ba chị em.) 
* Lưu ý: Trong so sánh nhất hai giới từ “in” và of thường hay được sử dụng. Chúng ta 
dùng “of” khi chỉ về số lượng dùng “in” khi chỉ về nơi chốn. 
- Với dạng so sánh nhất của tính từ, có thể sử dụng “second”, “third”,... 
Ví dụ: Karachi in Pakistan is the second largest city in the world in population. (Karachi ở 
Pakistan là thành phố đông dân thứ 2 trên thế giới) 
Có thể sử dụng “by far” để nhấn mạnh so sánh nhất. 
Ví dụ: China is by far the most populated country in the world. (Trung Quốc là nước đông 
dân nhất trên thế giới) 
 II. COMPARISON OF ADVERBS 
1. Cấu trúc câu so sánh hơn với trạng từ 
Đối với trạng từ ngắn Đối với trạng từ dài 
S1 + V + adv-er + than + S2 S1+ V + more/less + adv + than S2 
Với trạng từ ngắn, thường là trạng từ 
chỉ cách thức có hình thức giống tính 
từ, ta thêm đuôi "er”vào sau trạng từ. 
- Với trạng từ dài, hầu hết là các trạng từ chỉ 
cách thức có đuôi “-ly” ta thêm “more” (nhiều 
hơn) hoặc “less”(ít hơn) vào trước trạng từ. 
- less” là từ phản nghĩa của “more" được dùng 
để diễn đạt sự không bằng nhau ở mức độ ít 
hơn. 
2. Một vài trạng từ có dạng đặc biệt 
Trạng từ Trạng từ so sánh hơn 
well better 
badly worse 
far farther/further 
early earlier (không thêm more) 
The little boy ran farther than his friends. (Cậu bé chạy xa hơn những người bạn.) 
You’re driving worse today than yesterday. (Hôm nay bạn lái xe tệ hơn hôm qua.) 
1. SO SÁNH BẰNG

 Ex: He is as tall as his father. 
Form 2: 
S + be/ V + as + adj/ adv + as + noun/ pronoun 
P 3

Form 3: (giống về vẻ bề ngoài) 
 Ex: Her house is like your house. 
 = Her house and your house are alike. 
Form 4: 
 Ex: Her house is similar to your house. 
 = Her house and your house are similar. 
2. SO SÁNH HƠN 
a. Short Adj/ Adv (tính từ/ trạng từ ngắn): là những từ có 1 âm tiết và những từ có 2 
âm tiết kết thúc tận cùng là “y” => ngắn: early, healthy, happy, pretty, dry, ... 
Form: 
 Ex: She is fatter than her mother. 
b. Long Adj/ Adv (tính từ/ trạng từ dài): là những từ có 2 âm tiết trở lên. 
Form: 
 Ex: He is more generous than his brother. 
Note: Trước so sánh hơn có thể có “much”, “far”, “so”, “a little”, “a lot”, “a bit”

REPORTED SPEECH: Review (Câu tường thuật) 
I. Cấu trúc 
1. Lời nói gián tiếp trong câu trần thuật 
Động từ tường thuật thường được sử dụng là: tell, say, explain, tell someone, say/explain to 
someone. 
S said/ told that mệnh đề lùi thì Ví dụ: 
Trực tiếp: She said: “I will call you tomorrow.” 
Gián tiếp: She said (that) she would call me the next day. (Cô ấy nói cô ấy sẽ gọi cho tôi 
vào ngày hôm sau” 
2. Lời nói gián tiếp trong câu hỏi Yes-No: 
- Động từ tường thuật thường được sử dụng như là: ask, wonder, inquire, want to know. 
Nếu những động từ tường thuật trong câu trực tiếp là “said”, “said to”, “told”, chúng ta cần 
đổi những từ này thành “asked” 
- Trợ động từ sẽ lùi về 1 thì và chuyển về sau chủ ngữ. 
- Bỏ “that” và dấu hỏi. 
- Sử dụng “if/whether” để liên kết mệnh đề chính với câu hỏi gián tiếp. S + asked O + if/ 
whether + S + lùi thì 
Ví dụ: 
Trực tiếp: We asked Andrew, “Have you bought a new game?” 
Gián tiếp: We asked Andrew if he had bought a new game. (Tôi hỏi Andrew xem là có phải 
cậu ấy mua trò chơi mới phải không” 
3. Lời nói gián tiếp trong câu hỏi Wh-question 
- Những thay đổi chính cũng giống như trong câu yes-no question 
- Từ để hỏi được chuyển về làm liên từ 
S + asked O + wh-question + S + lùi thì 
Ví dụ: He asked me, “When I call you back?” He asked me when he could call me back. 
4. Câu mệnh lệnh 
- Dạng khẳng định : S + asked O to V 
Ví dụ: 
- He said to me “Slow down, please.” (request) => He asked me to slow down. 
- She said to them, “Stop shouting!” (order) => She told them to stop shouting. 
- Dạng phủ định: S + asked O not to V 
Ví dụ: 
He said to me, “Don’t shut the door!” (order) => He told me not to shut the door. 
7. Một số cấu trúc khác: 
- suggested/recommended doing something: gợi ý cho ai làm gì 
Ví dụ: He suggested going to the cinema that weekend. (Anh ta gợi ý đi xem phim vào cuối 
tuần) 
- invited somebody to V: mời ai làm gì 
P 5 
Ví dụ: I invited her to dance. (tôi mời cô ấy nhảy) 
offered to do something: yêu cầu làm gì 
Ví dụ: She offered to drive them home. (Cô ấy yêu cầu được lái xe đưa họ về nhà.) - 
apologized to somebody for doing something: xin lỗi vì điều gì

tắc chung là lùi về 1 thì.

USED TO: Review (Cấu trúc Used to) 
Sử dụng “used to do” để nói về những thói quen hoặc những hành động thường làm trong 
quá khứ mà không còn ở hiện tại nữa. 
Câu Cấu trúc Ví dụ 
P 7 
Khằng 
định 
S + used to + 
Vinfi 
I used to ride a bike to school. (Tôi thường hay đi xe đạp 
đến trường ngày trước) 
Phủ 
định 
S + didn’t use 
to + V-inf 
She didn’t use to drink milk when she was young. (Cô 
ấy không uống sữa khi còn trẻ) 
Câu hỏi Did + S + use to 
+ V-infi? 
Did he use to live here? (Ngày trước anh ta thường sống 
ở đây phải không?) 
- Chú ý: “used to do something” được sử dụng để thể hiện hành động đã hoàn thành trong 
quá khứ cái mà không còn diễn ra ở hiện tại. Đây là cấu trúc chỉ được sử dụng trong thì quá 
khứ. 
Ví dụ: I used to get up early in the morning when I was a student. (But I don’t get up early 
now) 
LƯU Ý: 
 Phân biệt giữa USED TO, BE/GET USED TO, BE USED FOR 
* Used to do something: Đã từng làm việc gì trong quá khứ mà nay không làm nữa. Đây là 
mẫu câu chỉ sử dụng ở thời quá khứ. 
Ex: I used to get up early in the morning when I was a student (But I don’t get up early 
now). 
* Be/ get used to N/ doing something: (trở nên/dần) quen với. Mẫu câu này có thể sử dụng 
ở thời quá khứ, hiện tại hoặc tuơng lai. Trong cấu trúc này, “used” là 1 tính từ và “to” là 1 
giới từ. 
Form: 
Ex: - I am used to getting up early in the morning. 
 - He didn’t complain about the noise next door. He was used to it. 
 - I am not used to the new system in the factory yet. 
* Hình thức bị động của “used to” được dùng trong càu bị động, mang nghĩa để làm 
gì: 
Ex: Money is used to buy and sell goods. 
Or: Money is used for buying and selling goods. 
2. WISH DÙNG TRONG HIỆN TẠI: Để diễn đạt một ước muốn không thể thực hiện 
được trong hiện tại. 
Form: 
Ex: - I wish I knew the answer to this question. (At present I don’t know the answer). 
 - She wishes she didn’t have so much work to do. (She has a lot of work to do). 
- Sau “wish” chúng ta đều có thể sử dụng” was” hoặc “were” với chủ ngữ “I/she/he/it” 
PASSIVE VOICE: IMPERSONAL PASSIVE (Câu bị động: Câu bị động khách quan) 
TENSES ACTIVE PASSIVE 
1. The simple present S + V (-s /es) S + am/ is/ are + Vpp 
2. The present continuous S + am/ is/ are + V-ing S + am/ is/ are/ + being + 
Vpp 
3. The present perfect S + have/ has + Vpp S + have/ has + been + Vpp 
S + be/get used to + V-ing = S + be/get accustomed to + V-ing 
S + be used to + V = S + be used for + V-ing 
S + wish(es) + S + thì quá khứ đơn 
P 8 
4. The present perfect 
continuous 
S + have/ has + been + 
V-ing 
S + have/ has + been + being 
+ Vpp 
5. The simple past S + V2/ V-ed S + was/ were + Vpp 
6. The past continuous S + was/ were + V- ing S + was/ were + being + Vpp

perfect 
S + will/ shall + have + 
Vpp 
S + will/ shall + have + been 
+ Vpp 
12. The near future S+ be going to + V S + be going to + be + Vpp 
13. Model Verbs S + Modal + V-bareInf S + Modal + be + Vpp 
I. CÁC DẠNG BỊ ĐỘNG ĐẶC BIỆT. 
1. Mệnh đề có hoặc không có “that”: (Thể bị động không ngôi: The impersonal passive) 
 Chúng ta sử dụng thể bị động không ngôi để diễn tả ý kiến của người khác. Thường sử 
dụng với động từ tường thuật: say/ think/ belive/ know/ hope/ expect/ report/ 
understand/ claim/ suppose/ consider.... 
a. It is thought/expected/believed/estimated/said/reported that + S2 + V2 + O 
b. S2 is thought/expected/believed/estimated/said/reported + to V2

 => He had the luggage carried home by the waiter. 
 - I got the postman to post the letter for me. 
 => I had the letter posted for me by the postman. 
II. THE USE OF “SUGGEST” (CÁCH DÙNG: SUGGEST) 
 Sau động từ “Suggest” (đề nghị, đề xuất, kiến nghị), chúng ta có thể dùng V -ing hay 
một mệnh đề với “Should” 
 Chúng ta sử dụng “Suggest + V –ing” hay một mệnh đề với “Should”, để gợi ý ai đó 
về những gì họ nên làm. 
Ex: 
 He suggested travelling together for safety, since the area was so dangerous. 
 She suggests that we should go out for dinner.
