Theme: COMPARATIVES.
Activities: GRAMMAR FOCUS.
The comparative form of an adjective is used for comparing two people or things (e.g. he is taller than me), while the
superlative is used for comparing one person or thing with every other member of their group (e.g. he was the tallest boy in
the class).
Adjectives make their comparative and superlative forms in different ways, depending on the base adjective itself.
Here’s a quick-reference guide to the spelling of comparative and superlative adjectives
PETER TOM BILL
PETER IS TALL. TOM IS TALLER THAN PETER. BILL IS THE TALLEST BOY IN THE CLASS.

3. ADJECTIVES COMPARATIVE
Adjectives with one syllable
In general, if the adjective has one syllable, then the letters -
er or -est are added:
warm warmer than
Adjectives with one syllable ending in e
If the adjective has one syllable and ends in e, just add -r or -
st:
late later than
Some one-syllable adjectives that end with a single
consonant (e.g. big, wet, sad, fat) double this consonant
before adding -er or -est:
big bigger than
If the adjective ends in y (e.g. happy, greedy, or tidy),
change the y to an i and add -er or -est:
happy happier than
Adjectives with three syllables or more
If the adjective has three syllables or more, then the words
‘more’ and ‘most’ are used:
interesting more interesting than
Some common adjectives have irregular comparative and
superlative forms that you just have to learn:
bad
good
far
little
much
worse than
better than
farther than
less than
more than
