1. Understanding Comparatives and Superlatives

• Adjectives can be used to describe qualities of nouns.
• When comparing two or more nouns, we use different forms of adjectives:
• Comparative: Used to compare two nouns (often with “than”).
• Superlative: Used to compare three or more nouns (often with “the”).

2. Using “More” for Comparative Adjectives

• “More” is used before adjectives that are two syllables (not ending in -y) and three or more syllables.
• Examples:
• beautiful → more beautiful
• difficult → more difficult
• interesting → more interesting
• Sentence Examples:
• “This book is more interesting than that one.”
• “She is more talented than her brother.”

3. Using “Most” for Superlative Adjectives

• “Most” is used before adjectives that are two syllables (not ending in -y) and three or more syllables.
• Examples:
• beautiful → most beautiful
• difficult → most difficult
• interesting → most interesting
• Sentence Examples:
• “This is the most interesting book I have ever read.”
• “She is the most talented singer in the class.”

4. Exceptions

• Adjectives that are one syllable or two syllables ending in -y use the -er and -est forms instead of “more” and “most.”
• Examples:
  • small → smaller → smallest
  • happy → happier → happiest
