COMPARATIVE AND SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVES
In English, most adjectives have an 'er' added to the end to form the comparative and 'est' to form the superlative.
Example
Adjective: Small
Comparative
My brother’s apartment is smaller.
Superlative
Amanda’s apartment is the smallest.
My apartment is small
If the adjective ends in 'e', just add an 'r' for the comparative and 'st' for the
superlative
Example
Adjective: Nice
This salesman is nice.
Comparative
This salesman is nice but the first one was nicer.
Superlative
However, the secretary was the nicest.
Some adjectives that end in a consonant double the final consonant to form the comparative and superlative.
Example
Adjective: Sad
Jhon is sad.
Comparative
Jhon is sadder than Peter.
Superlative
But Rous is more saddest.
When the adjective ends in 'y', the 'y' is changed to an 'i' and an 'er' is added at the end
to form the comparative and 'est' to form the superlative
Example
Adjective: Ugly
Comparative
Rosa and ana are uglier than my friend Luisa.
Superlative
that house is too ugliest
Some adjectives, however, do not have a different form for the comparative or the
superlative, and 'more' and 'most' must be used to form them
Example
Adjective: Beautiful
Comparative
I was more beautiful than you.
Superlative
But now Ana is more beautiful than you.
‘ful’, ‘ing’, ‘ous’, ‘ive’, ‘ish’, ‘al’, ‘able’ y ‘ed’.
There are very common English adjectives that are irregular. They have comparatives and
completely different superlatives
Example
Adjective: Bad
Comparative
That one is worse.
Superlative
However, the other book is the worst.
