Adjectives; comparative & superlative forms
Adjective is a word which defines a noun! Good book Rich man Beautiful flowers Spoiled boy
While using an adjective in a comparative way; 1- We usually bring “-er” to the end of a short (one syllable) adjective. e.g. ; short short-er tall tall-er small small-er big big-ger
2- On the other hand; we use “more” in front of the long (at least two syllable) adjectives to make them comparative form. e.g. beautiful more beautiful handsome more handsome
Beautiful more beautiful
There are some irregular (problem) adjectives in English! But don’t worry! They are not too many! e.g. good better bad worse far further
While using an adjective in a superlative way 1- In short Adjectives; we bring “the” in front of the adjective and “-est” at the end of the adjective. e.g. ; old the oldest short the shortest tall the tallest
She is 127 years old and still alive.
Mount Everest (8848 m.)
The biggest cat in the World.
2- In long adjectives; we bring “the most” in front of the adjective. interesting the most interesting hardworking the most hardworking expensive the most expensive
dangerous? No!!!
Valuable? maybe!
Of course there are problem superlative forms like; good better the best bad worse the worst far further the furthest
