Grammar focus
用法：英语中三者或三者以上相比较，表示
“最……” 这样的最高程度概念时，要用 “the+最高级” 的结构表示。这种句式一般带有表示比较的介词短语，比如: in our class, of the three 等。
例如：Wang Lin is the tallest in our class.
This theater is the cheapest of the three.
注意使用最高级时应注意以下几点：
形容词的最高级
(1) 表示 “最……之一” 的句式，要用 one of the
+形容词最高级+复数名词。
例如：Jingjiang Hotel is one of the biggest hotels
in our city.
Lisa is not of my best friends.
(2) 当最高级前面有物主代词或名词所有格时，
不加定冠词 the。
例如：Tom is Lucy’s best friend.
Tuesday is her busiest day.
(3) 最高级前可加序数词。
例如：The Yellow River is the second
longest river in China.
(4) 形容最高级修饰作表语或介词宾语的名
词，代词时，被修饰的词往往省略。
例如：He is the laziest (student) in our
class.
