ADJECTIVES
Comparative and Superlative Adjectives
Comparative adjectives compare two things. Superlative adjectives compare more than two things.
Commonly, adjectives that contain only one syllable or end in 'y' use 'er' to form comparatives and 'est' to form superlatives. For adjectives ending in y, change the 'y' to 'i' before adding the 'er' or 'est'.
-
old – older – oldest
-
young – younger – youngest
-
pretty – prettier – prettiest
-
long – longer – longest
-
short – shorter – shortest
-
bright – brighter – brightest
-
close – closer – closest
-
happy – happier - happiest
Adjectives with two or more syllables do not change but instead add more to form comparatives and most to form superlatives.
-
respectable – more respectable – most respectable
-
beautiful – more beautiful – most beautiful
-
preferable – more preferable – most preferable

hardworking – more hardworking – most hardworking
Some adjectives have different forms of comparatives and superlatives.
-
good – better – best

bad – worse – worst

little – less – least
-
much (many) – more – most
-
far – further - furthest
