点拨1：此句中best 是good 的最高级形式，其前应加定冠词the。点拨2：in town 在城镇，town前加不加任何冠词或修饰成分。

in the city 在城市， in the country在乡村；在农村。City/country 前加定冠词the。

例如： Do you like living in town or in the city?

你喜欢住在城镇还是住在城市里？

点拨3：

此句中 Miller's 是名词所有格的形式，表示场所、店铺等意义。例如：the barber's 理发店；the doctor's 诊所；my uncle's 我叔叔家。

点拨4：

clothes 本身是复数形式，后面动词应用复数。Clothing 是复合名词，衣服的总称，没有复数形式，后面动词应用单数。

例如：The clothes in that shop are expensive. 那家店的衣服贵。

All the clothing in the shop is very cheap. 这家店里的衣服很便宜。

2. It has the most comfortable seats. 它有最舒适的座位。

You can sit the most comfortably because they have the biggest seats.因为它们有最大的座位所以你可以坐得最舒服。

点拨1： comfortable 为形容词，意为"舒适的"，用来修饰seats。most comfortable 是它的最高级形式，在句中使用时，要在其最高级前加the.点拨2： comfortably 为comfortable的副词，意为"舒服地；舒适地"，用来修饰它前面的sit,即副词修饰动词之后，most comfortable 是它的最高级形式。在句中使用时，其最高级前可以加the也可以不加。[拓展]类似的词在本单元还有许多。

例如： beautiful－beautifully，cheap－cheaply，careful－carefully等。

3．It's the closest to home. 它离家最近。

点拨1：close 在此句中为形容词，意为"近的，接近的"，既可指时间，也可以指空间上的。closest 为形容词 close的最高级形式。其反义词为far, 近义词为near。在表达"离……近"时用（be）close to 结构。例如： The post office is close to the park. 邮局离公园近。 He sat close to us. 他挨着我们坐。

[拓展] ① close与near都意为"近的"，但close比near表达的距离更近，相当于very near，可以近至几乎相接触，而near意为"附近的；邻近的。"例如： My home is near our school.我家离我们学校很近。

② close还是一个动词，意为"关；关闭"。其反义词为open。例如： Please close the windows before leaving. 离开前请将窗户关上。 Don't close your eyes, please. 请不要闭上眼睛。

点拨2：home 在这里为名词，意为"家"，包含"爱；温暖；舒适；安全"等意义，通常不用冠词修饰。例如： Home is where the heart is.心在哪里，哪里就是家。
