• An adjective is a word that
describes, identifies,
modifies, or quantifies
something (a noun or a
pronoun).
dangerous chemicals
green vegetables
a square box
a big house
The positive is the form of the
adjective that describes one
noun.
Mercury is a large planet.
The comparative form of the adjective compares two
nouns.
-formed by adding -er to the positive form of
adjective
Earth is larger than
Mercury.
The superlative form of the adjective compares more
than two nouns. Most superlative forms of the
adjective are formed by adding -est to the positive
form of the adjective.
Jupiter is the largest
planet of all.
If the adjective in the positive form ends in -y, the y is changed
to i and the endings er or est are added in the comparative and
superlative. With a common adjective such as big, the final g is
doubled in the comparative and superlative forms before the er
and est are added.
If an adjective has more than one syllable, the word
more or less is placed in front of the positive form of
the adjective in the comparative form and the er is
not added. If the adjective has three or more
syllables, the word most or least is placed in front of
the positive form of the adjective
Some common adjectives have irregular
comparative and superlative forms. The table below
gives examples of the positive, comparative and
superlative forms of these adjectives.
