Use adjectives to compare

Key Notes :

✨ Use Adjectives to Compare ✨

Adjectives are describing words. They tell us more about a noun (a person, place, or thing).

  • 👉 Example: The tall boy, the beautiful flower. 🌸

1️⃣ Positive Degree 😃

  • Shows a simple quality of a noun.
  • Example: This car is fast. 🚗💨

2️⃣ Comparative Degree 😎

  • Used to compare two nouns.
  • Add -er to short adjectives or use more for longer ones.
  • Example: This car is faster than that one. 🚗 > 🚙

3️⃣ Superlative Degree 🏆

  • Used to compare three or more nouns.
  • Add -est to short adjectives or use most for longer ones.
  • Example: This is the fastest car of all. 🚀

One-syllable adjectives → add -er / -est

  • tall → taller → tallest 🏔️
  • fast → faster → fastest 🏃

Adjectives ending in -y → change y → i before adding -er / -est

  • happy → happier → happiest 😀

Long adjectives (2+ syllables) → use more / most

  • beautiful → more beautiful → most beautiful 🌹
  • interesting → more interesting → most interesting 📖

Irregular adjectives (special forms)

  • good → better → best 👍
  • bad → worse → worst 👎
  • many/much → more → most 📚
  • My bag is heavy. 🎒 (Positive)
  • My bag is heavier than yours. (Comparative)
  • This is the heaviest bag in the class. (Superlative)

Always remember:

  • Compare two = Comparative degree
  • Compare three or more = Superlative degree
