6. We use comparatives and superlatives to compare things and to say which thing is top in a group.
• Add ‘-er’ and ‘-est’ for one syllable adjectives.
• Add ‘-ier’ and ‘-iest’ for two syllable adjectives which end in ‘y’ (and take away the ‘y’).
one syllable: small – smaller – the smallest
two syllables with ‘y’: happy – happier – the happiest

7. • BEAUTIFUL
• DELICIOUS
• DIFFICULT
• EXPENSIVE
• INTERESTING

• MORE EXPENSIVE THAN
• MORE INTERESTING THAN
• THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
• THE MOST DELICIOUS
• THE MOST DIFFICULT
• THE MOST EXPENSIVE
• THE MOST INTERESTING
*POSITIVE *COMPARATIVE *SUPERLATIVE

8. Use ‘more’ and ‘the most’ with other two syllable (or more)
adjectives.
• interesting – more interesting – the most interesting
• two+ syllables: beautiful – more beautiful – the most beautiful
We say... We don’t say...
Apples are bigger than grapes.
(NOT Apples are more bigger than grapes.)
My father is the tallest in my family.
(NOT My father is the most tall in my family.)
This book is more interesting than my homework. (NOT This book
is interestinger than my homework.)

12. Be careful!
The adjectives ‘good’, ‘bad’, ‘far’ and ‘many’ have special forms.
• good – better – the best
• bad – worse – the worst
• far – further – the furthest
• many – much – more
• little – less -least
