LIFE IN THE ZOO
Zoos have existed for many years. Many people are against them because animals
are caged there. They say it is cruel to keep savage animals in cages. Some
animals get restless having such a little space to live in. They don't have to hunt for
food and tear their prey into pieces. They feed on what is given to them as regular
meals. If they were set fretthey wouldn't know how to'stalk their prey. Animals
that were born in polar regions don't feel well when they're moved into a zoo in a
warmer climate. And what about the fastest of all animals? If a cheetah were set free
after a few years in a zoo it would be difficult for it to outrun its prey.

tn aceasta leqie ne vom cornpleta cuno~tintele despre folosirea ~I gradele de comparatie aleadjectivelor.
Unele adjective se folosesc dOGr co determinanfi ai SlIbstallfivului, adico atrihutiv Urnulfoarele
adjective Jac parte dill aceasta categorie:
1. adjective care del1umesc materii, de exemplu:
a gold watch
a silver plate
a wooden spoon
-(un) ceas de aur
-(un) platou de argint
-(0) lingura de lemn
2. "late" (eu sensu! de "riiposar". "mort"), "right. left, /al'ourite, spare, recent, live"

-ochiul lui stang

-(0) roaHl (caueiue) de rezerva
-(0) fotografic rceellta
-(0) vulpe vie
Vom mai face cateva mentiuni privitoare la gradele de comparatie ale adjectivelor deja mentionate.
Comparativu! ~i superlativui adjectivelor compuse din doua si/abe sau IIwi multe se jorrneazd ell
ajutorul advel'beIor "more" .'ii "most" daca accent,,1 cade pc prima silaba, de exemp!u:
stupid -stupid more stupid -mai stupid the most stupid -eel mai stupid
foolish -prostesc more foolish -mai prostesc the most foolish -eel mai prostesc
decent -decent, more decent -mai decent, the most decent -eel rnai decent,rezonabil mai rezonabil eel mai rezonabil
De rerinut coj()rma de superlati\' este precedatd de anieo/lIl hotdriit "the". Act'sfa poatefi tillveuit
dupd caz de un adjecth' posesiv (de exemplu: his greates't H'urk)
26
Dacii insa aecenlHI cade pe si/aha a doua, adjeclivele formeazii comparativul ClJ termina{ia"-er" ~,i superlativul cu termina!ia "-est" precedat de articolul hotaral "the ", de exemplu:
polite -politicos politer -mai politicos the politest -cel mai politicos
severe -grav severer -mal gray the severest -cel mai gray
Slllcere -sinceI' sincerer -mal SIDcer the sincerest -eel mai sinceI'
profound -profund profounder -mai profund the profoundest -cel mai profund
Comparalivul $i superlalivul adjecti\'(~/or din trei si/abe derivate din cUl'inre de doud silabe seformeaza dupa acela~i model ca penrru cuvintele de doud si/abe, de exemplu:
unhappy -neferieit unhappier -mai nefericit the unhappiest -eel mai oeferieit
Compararivul ~<;i slIperlativul adjective/or formate de la partieipiu se /urmea=ii eu "more" ~i "themost ", exemp/u:
They were more tired than we were, -Erau mai obositi dedit eram noi.
That was the most interesting film. -Acela a fast filmul eel mai interesant.
Exista doua seturi diferite de comparativ/superlativ pentrll adjectivul "far", infunetie de sensul acestuia:
"Farther, farthest" exprima distanta in sensul propriu (spatiu), in timp ce "further,furthest" exprima distanta in sensul figurat (timp, ordine), de exemplu:
the farthest > Ifa:'IYast]
the furthest > [1,,:'D'[lsl]
~Va mai fi 0 intarziere.
-Poti sa obtii mai multe infonnatii?
-Din acest punet aeroportul estemai departe dedit gara.

His elder sister i~ a journalist. -Sora lui mai mare este ziaristcL
Where does your eldest brother live? -Unde locuie~te fratele tau mal mare?
27
in unele c{/zuri, superlativul eli "most" poalefi/olosit pentru a denumi doar un gradfoarte inalt al
unei anum;tc cahtiiri,/drii sii sefuca l'reo compararie. ill acest ca::, construcfia flU exprimd super/ariml~<;i nu esle precedatd de artico/ul "the ", de exemplu:

descoperire?
