Comparatives and Superlatives

To describe things or people, you use adjectives such as small, old, strong, cold and fast.

To compare two things or people, you add -er (comparative) or 

-est (superlative) to the adjective.

The baseball is small

The tennis ball is smaller.

The golf ball is smallest of them all.

Comparatives and Superlatives

If the adjective end in -e, you only add -r or -st.

safe - safer - safest

If the adjective ends in a short vowel (a, e, i, o, u) + one consonant, you also double the consonant.

fit - fitter - fittest.

Comparatives and Superlatives

If the adjective ends in a consonant +y, you replace the last letter with -ier and -iest.

happy - happier - happiest

Comparatives and Superlatives

For adjectives with three syllables (lettergrepen) or more, you use more in the comparative and most in the superlative. Note: This is also the case for some two-syllable adjectives (such as awful, famous and boring).

practical - more practical - most practical

awful - more awful - most awful

Comparatives and Superlatives

Some adjectives have their own irregular form.

good/well - better - best

bad/ill - worse - worst

little - less - least

many/much - more - most
