Comparative and Superlative Adjectives

Comparative adjectives compare two things. Superlative adjectives compare more than two things

Commonly, adjectives that contain only one syllable or end in 'y' use 'er' to form comparatives and 'est' to form superlatives. For adjectives ending in y, change the 'y' to 'i' before adding the 'er' or 'est'.

old – older – oldest
young – younger – youngest
pretty – prettier – prettiest
long – longer – longest
short – shorter – shortest
bright – brighter – brightest
close – closer – closest
happy – happier - happiest

Adjectives with two or more syllables do not change but instead add more to form comparatives and most to form superlatives.

respectable – more respectable – most respectable
beautiful – more beautiful – most beautiful
preferable – more preferable – most preferable
hardworking – more hardworking – most hardworking

    Some adjectives have different forms of comparatives and superlatives.

    good – better – best
    bad – worse – worst
    little – less – least
    much (many) – more – most
    far – further - furthest

    The word than typically appears in comparative sentences.

    Amy is smarter than Betty.
    Chad is stronger than Dan.
    Greg is more diligent than his brother.
    I have more apples than he.
    She likes him more than me.

    Superlatives are typically accompanied by the word the.

    Tom is the oldest man in town.
    Paul is the tallest boy in the neighborhood.
    That shade of blue is the most beautiful color.
    This is the longest song that I have ever heard.
