Comparative and
superlative adjectives
There are two types of
adjectives that we use when
comparing two or more nouns:
comparative adjectives and
superlative adjectives.
Comparative adjectives
We use them when we are describing two (or more)
nouns and comparing them.
Rules
1. For adjectives with one syllable,
add er to the adjective:
Old Older
Fast Faster
Small Smaller
1.1 For one syllable adjectives with
consonant-vowel-consonant, we
double the last letter:
Big Bigger
Fat Fatter
Hot Hotter
2. For adjectives with two syllables
and ending in y, change the y to i
and add er.
Pretty Prettier
Funny Funnier
2.1 Adjectives with two syllables, ending in er
clever cleverer
simple simpler
narrow narrower
Adjectives with three or more syllables
form the comparative by putting more
in front of the adjective.
Attractive
More attractive
The most attractive
Always use the in a superlative
sentence.
