COMPARISON OF ADJECTIVES

COMPARATIVE AND SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVES

COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES

SHORT ADJECTIVES

• Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between the two objects they modify (larger, smaller, faster, higher). They are used in sentences where two nouns are compared.
• Adjectives with one syllable

To make comparative forms with one-syllable adjectives, we usually add -er:old → older clean → cleaner slow → slower If an adjective ends in -e, we add -r: safe → safer nice → nicer If an adjective ends in a vowel and a consonant, we usually double the consonant: big → bigger hot → hotter

LONG ADJECTIVES

COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES

We use more to make comparative forms for most other two-syllable adjectives and for all adjectives with three or more syllables: crowded → more crowded stressful → more stressful dangerous → more dangerous Exception: You can either add -er/-r or use more with some two-syllable adjectives, such as common, cruel, gentle, handsome, likely, narrow, pleasant, polite, simple and stupid.

SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVES

SHORT ADJECTIVES

A superlative adjective expresses the extreme or highest degree of a quality. We use a superlative adjective to describe the extreme quality of one thing in a group of things. Short adjectives 1-syllable adjectives old, fast 2-syllable adjectives ending in -y happy, easy RULE: add "-est" old → the oldest Variation: if the adjective ends in -e, just add -st late → the latest Variation: if the adjective ends in consonant, vowel, consonant, double the last consonant big → the biggest Variation: if the adjective ends in -y, change the y to i happy → the happiest

LONG ADJECTIVES

SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVES

Long adjectives 2-syllable adjectives not ending in -y modern, pleasant all adjectives of 3 or more syllables expensive, intellectual RULE: use "most" modern → the most modern expensive → the most expensive

IRREGULAR ADJECTIVES

Irregular adjectives The adjectives good, bad and far have irregular comparative forms: good → better-the best bad → worse-the worst far → further/farther-the furthest/the farthest
