Comparatives and Superlatives
We use comparative adjectives to compare two nouns. Short and simple adjetives. To form the comparative adjective, we add –er. In comparative sentences we use than: This cat is smaller than that cat. We use superlative adjectives to compare three or more nouns. To form the superlative adjective, we add –est: He is the tallest boy in the room. Rewrite each sentence using the correct form of the adjective. Example: Susy is (older/oldest) than Mary. Susy is older than Mary. 1.- Yesterday was the (colder/coldest) day this winter. ___________________________________________ 2.- Maria is the (smarter/smartest) girl in her classroom. ___________________________________________ 3.- My desk is (smaller/smallest) than yours. ___________________________________________ 4.- This towel is the (softer/softest) of all. ___________________________________________ 5.- The kitchen is (warmer/warmest) than the garage. ___________________________________________ With adjectives that end with an –e, just add –r for the comparative and –st for the superlative. With adjectives that end with a consonant and a –y, change the –y to –i and add –er or –est: Positive form comparative superlative silly sillier silliest With adjectives that end in a single consonant and a single vowel, double the final consonant and add –er or –est: big bigger biggest Write the comparative and superlative form of each adjective. comparative superlative 1.- thin __________ _________ 2.- fat __________ _________ 3.- fast __________ _________ 4.- brave _________ _________ 5.- pretty _________ _________ 6.- dark _________ _________ 7.- rich _________ _________ 8.- easy _________ _________ To form comparative and superlative adjectives with words of three or more syllables, we do not use –er and –est. Long or complicated adjetives. For comparatives, use more and than: Mark is more intelligent than Robert. For superlatives, use the most: Susy is the most intelligent of all the students. *Do not use –er or –est when using more or most. In each sentence, mark the correct form of the adjective. Example: Tania is (more happy/happier) than John. 1.- This is the (more interesting/most interesting) book in the library. 2.- Richard is (more tall/taller) than his father. 3.- Elena’s desk is the (most neat/neatest) one in her class. 4.- An elephant is the (bigger/biggest) animal in the zoo. 5.- Her sister is the (prettier/prettiest) of all the girls. 6.- A mouse is (smaller/smallest) than a hamster. 7.- That movie star is (more beautiful/most beautiful) than her sister. 8.- The clown was the (more funny/funniest) of all.
