Study Notes

Correct article usage: "a" is used before singular nouns that are not specific.
Example of correct usage: "She bought a new car yesterday."
Incorrect examples include:
- "I saw a Eiffel Tower" (should be "an Eiffel Tower").
- "She is the best chef of a restaurant" (should omit "a").

Comparative adjectives compare differences between the two objects they modify.
Example of correct comparative usage: "My house is bigger than my neighbor's."
Incorrect forms to avoid:
- "more heavier" (use "heavier").
- "more clearer" (use "clearer").
- "most smarter" (use "smartest").

Correct combined usage example: "This movie is less interesting than the one we saw last week."
Incorrect structures include:
- "more friendlier" (use "friendlier").
- "the more tastier" (use "the tastiest").
- "a more expensive" (while correct, "the" may be more appropriate depending on context).

Superlative adjectives identify an object as having the highest degree of a particular quality.
Example of correct superlative usage: "This is the best cake I have ever tasted."
Avoid incorrect superlatives such as:
- "the most tallest" (should be "the tallest").
- "more faster" (should be "faster").
- "the more intelligent" (should be "the most intelligent").
