COMPARATIVE FORMS AND SUPERLATIVE FORMS
COMPARATIVE FORMS
We compare people, places, or things every day. We describe actions or words
that describe actions every day. The comparative form is used to compare two
nouns (people, places, or things) or to describe verbs (actions), or other
adverbs (words that describe verbs).
Comparative is the name for the grammar used when comparing two things. The
two basic ways to compare are using as .. as or than. The form of an adjective
or adverb involving a comparison of more or less, greater or lesser.
The shops are always more crowded just before Christmas.
Examples
Adjectives in the comparative form compare two people, places, or things.
'John is smarter, but Bob is taller
BUT
Is there anything more boring than reading about grammar?
Adjectives with 3 or more syllables: use more with the unchanged adjective
Russian grammar is more difficult than English grammar.
2-syllable adjectives ending in -y: change the -y to -ier
She's looking happier today.
This grammar topic is easier than the last one.
My sister is much more intelligent than me.
SUPERLATIVE FORMS
A superlative adjective is used to compare three or more objects, people, or
places. Using the superlative form takes a comparison to the highest degree
possible. As shown in the beginning sentence example, the adjective best is
a superlative adjective that compares three or more desserts. You can’t get
better than best!
The rules for creating superlative adjectives are similar to those
used when making comparative adjectives. Here they are:
For a one-syllable word simply add the suffix –est to the word. Often times
it is necessary to double the final consonant.
The airplane from México is long but the airplane from UK is the longest one
The horse is one of big animal but the Elephant is the biggest one of the world
If a two-syllable word ends with a “y” then change the “y” to “I” and add -est.
Caracas is a pretty city but Mérida is prettiest than Valencia
There are some adjectives that have irregular forms meaning that the
superlative can’t be formed by adding the suffix -est or by using the
words most or least. Here are some examples:
Good–the best
Little–the least
Add–the worst
Far– the furthest
Understanding the proper use of superlative adjectives isn’t difficult once
you understand the rules. Remember superlatives are used to compare
three or more objects, people, or places and adding the suffix -est creates
them. If the regular adjective is two or three syllables then precede it with
the words most or least. You’ll have to memorize a few irregular forms but
if you keep these simple rules in mind you can add a new dimension to
your writing with superlative adjectives.
