常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Biggest"?Which "Biggest" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×This is the biggest my problem.

This is my biggest problem.

在英文中,所有格代名詞(如 my, your, his)通常放在形容詞之前。形容詞的最高級 "biggest" 應緊接在名詞之前,但在所有格代名詞之後。

×He is biggest fan of the team.

He is the biggest fan of the team.

使用最高級形容詞 "biggest" 時,前面通常需要加上定冠詞 "the",用來特指在比較範圍內程度最高的那一個。

×This building is more biggest than that one.

This building is bigger than that one.

"Biggest" 已經是最高級形式,不能用於兩者之間的比較。兩者比較應使用比較級 "bigger"。最高級 "biggest" 用於三者或以上的比較中,指出程度最高的一個。

×This is the biggest of the challenge.

This is the biggest challenge.

當 "biggest" 作為形容詞直接修飾後面的單數名詞時,不需要使用 "of the" 結構。"The biggest of the + 複數名詞" 的結構是用於從一個特定群體中挑出最大的一個,例如 "the biggest of the three apples"。

×This is the most biggest mistake.

This is the biggest mistake.

"Biggest" 是單音節形容詞 "big" 的最高級形式,其構成方式是直接在詞尾加 "-est",而不是在前面加 "most"。"Most" 用於構成多音節形容詞的最高級,如 "the most beautiful"。
