adj.(形容词)

better作“较好的,更好的”解时是good的比较级,可用far, much但不可用more, very修饰。但在作“渐愈或痊愈的”解时不用于比较结构,也不可用much修饰。

better用作表语时,其后可接由that或if引导的从句,从句中的谓语动词常用虚拟式以委婉地表达建议或看法。

adv.(副词)

better用作副词的基本意思是“更好地”,既可修饰动态动词,也可修饰静态动词。作“更,更大程度地”解时,与more同义,常与love, pke, know, understand等表示心理感情的静态动词连用。

better常用于be better off短语中,意思是“比较富裕,较舒服”,其后可接名词或动名词。better还常用在the better..., the more...结构中,意思是“越…就越…”。

n.(名词)

better用作名词时,既可指“较好的东西”,也可指“较好的人”。引申可表示“前辈”“上级”。

better一般只用于单数形式,其前可加冠词; 作“前辈”“上级”解时常用于习语elders and betters中。

v.(动词)

better用作动词可表示“胜过,超越”,还可表示“改善”“提高”经济状况、社会地位、自然环境等,接名词或代词作宾语。可用于被动结构。

better与oneself连用时常表示“提高自己的社会地位”

better指“病好些了”，表示“不unwell些”，而不是“更well些”。

I am better today, but not well yet.
如果在没有生病的前提下身体变强壮，不用better。

had better属于习惯用语，had不可改成have，后接不含to的不定式。

You had better go at once.
你最好马上去。

had better have结构的例句:

I think/thought I had better have gone already.
我以为你已经去了，实际上你没有去。

Better go at once属于美国口语，同You had better go at once有相同意思。Better to go at once也是口语，同It is better to go at once有相同意思；

You'd better go at once.句中的You'd可作You had，也可作You would，前者比较普遍些；

better通常不用于订正或纠正错误。

adj.(形容词)我的伤已完全好了。

误 I'm completely better now.

正 I'm completely well now.

析 better只是表示“渐愈”,若要表示“完全好转〔康复〕”则应用well。
