Lesson 59: Comparatives and Superlatives

Comparatives

• Usage: To compare two things or people.

• Structure:

  • For one-syllable adjectives: Add -er to the adjective.
    • Example: "tall" → "taller" (John is taller than Mike.)
  • For two-syllable adjectives ending in -y: Change -y to -ier.
    • Example: "happy" → "happier" (She is happier now than before.)
  • For adjectives with more than two syllables: Use more before the adjective.
    • Example: "interesting" → "more interesting" (This book is more interesting than that one.)

• Structure with Adverbs:

  • For one-syllable adverbs: Add -er.
    • Example: "fast" → "faster" (He runs faster than his brother.)
  • For adverbs with more than one syllable: Use more.
    • Example: "carefully" → "more carefully" (She writes more carefully than he does.)

Superlatives

• Usage: To express the highest degree of a quality among three or more things or people.

• Structure:

  • For one-syllable adjectives: Add -est to the adjective.
    • Example: "tall" → "tallest" (John is the tallest in his class.)
  • For two-syllable adjectives ending in -y: Change -y to -iest.
    • Example: "happy" → "happiest" (She is the happiest person I know.)
  • For adjectives with more than two syllables: Use most before the adjective.
    • Example: "interesting" → "most interesting" (This is the most interesting book I’ve read.)

• Structure with Adverbs:

  • For one-syllable adverbs: Add -est.
    • Example: "fast" → "fastest" (He is the fastest runner in the team.)
  • For adverbs with more than one syllable: Use most.
    • Example: "carefully" → "most carefully" (She writes the most carefully of anyone.)
