易错句子The furthermore island from the mainland is very small.

正确表达The furthermost island from the mainland is very small.

furthermost 是形容词，意思是“最远的”；furthermore 是副词，意思是“此外、而且”。两者拼写相近，但词性和意思完全不同。这里要修饰名词 island，必须用形容词 furthermost。

易错句子This is the most furthermost island in the country.

正确表达This is the furthermost island in the country.

furthermost 由 further 加后缀 -most 构成，本身已经是最高级，前面不能再加 most；再加 most 就造成最高级重复。

易错句子His house is furthermost from the station than mine.

正确表达His house is further from the station than mine.

句中出现 than，说明是两者之间的比较，要用比较级 further；furthermost 是最高级，用于三者或三者以上的比较，不能与 than 连用。
