Study Notes

Comparative Adjectives (One-Syllable)

  • Formation: Use "er" to compare two things. More + adjective for more than two things.

  • Example (Part 1):

    • "shorter" (comparing two books)
    • "easier" (comparing two tasks)
    • "cheaper" (comparative for a price)
    • "younger" (comparing two people's ages)

Comparative Adjectives (Multiple Syllables)

  • Formation: Use "more" + adjective for comparative forms.

  • Example (Part 2):

    • "faster" (comparing car speeds)
    • "colder" (comparing weather temperatures)
    • "better" (comparing movie quality)
    • "kinder" (comparing the level of kindness)

Superlative Adjectives

  • Formation: Add "est" to the end of one-syllable adjectives. Use "most" before adjectives for multiple-syllable adjectives
