Comparative and superlative forms of adjectives © BENI SUAREZ PRADO (2010)

General ideas: We use the comparative form of an adjective when we want to compare just TWO things or people: My With your My car is faster than your car

General ideas: We use the superlative form of an adjective when we want to compare one thing or person with the rest of its group: My With all the houses in my village My house is the most beautiful house in my village.

Formation rules: We must take into account the NUMBER of syllables the adjective has. We consider: Adjectives with 1 syllable: BIG, SHORT, FAST Adjectives with 2 syllables and ending in –y: FUNNY, PRETTY Adjectives with 2 or more syllables: MODERN, INTELLIGENT The second part of the comparison is made with THAN in compartive forms and OF ALL, IN THE world, town, class……….. In superlative forms.
