📝Spell Adjectives That Compare
Adjectives describe people, places, or things. When we compare, we use special forms called comparative and superlative adjectives.
| Comparative Adjectives – Compare two things |
Add -er to the adjective OR use more.
Example:
- 🌟 tall → taller → My brother is taller than me.
- 🌟 happy → happier → She is happier today.
- 🌟 beautiful → more beautiful → This flower is more beautiful than that one.
Tip:
- If adjective ends with y, change y → i before adding -er.
- happy → happier
- funny → funnier
| Superlative Adjectives – Compare three or more things |
Add -est to the adjective OR use most.
Example:
- 🌟 tall → tallest → He is the tallest in the class.
- 🌟 happy → happiest → She is the happiest in the group.
- 🌟 beautiful → most beautiful → This is the most beautiful painting.
Tip:
- If adjective ends with y, change y → i before adding -est.
- happy → happiest
- funny → funniest
| Special Notes: |
- Short adjectives usually take -er / -est → tall, small, fast
- Long adjectives usually take more / most → beautiful, interesting, careful
