Study Notes

Comparative Adjectives

Comparative adjectives describe differences in degree between two nouns or pronouns.
They are formed in several ways:
- For most one-syllable adjectives and some two-syllable adjectives ending in -y or -er, add '-er' to the base form:
  - small becomes smaller
  - happy becomes happier
  - hot becomes hotter
- For most two- or multi-syllable adjectives, use the word more before the adjective:
  - intelligent becomes more intelligent
  - interesting becomes more interesting
  - beautiful becomes more beautiful

Superlative Adjectives

Superlative adjectives describe the highest or lowest degree of a quality among three or more nouns or pronouns.
- For most one-syllable adjectives and some two-syllable adjectives ending in -y or -er, add '-est' to the base form:
  - small becomes smallest
  - happy becomes happiest
  - hot becomes hottest
- For most two- or multi-syllable adjectives, use the word most before the adjective:
  - intelligent becomes most intelligent
  - interesting becomes most interesting
  - beautiful becomes most beautiful

Irregular Comparative and Superlative Forms

Some adjectives have irregular comparative and superlative forms:
- good — better — best
- bad — worse — worst
- far — farther (distance) — farthest (distance) or further (degree or extent) — furthest (degree or extent)
- much/many — more — most
- little — less — least

Usage in Sentences

Comparative: Use comparative adjectives to compare two things.
- Example: "The red apple is bigger than the green apple."
- Example: "My sister is more intelligent than I am."
- Example: "This movie is better than the last one."
Superlative: Use superlative adjectives to compare three or more things.
- Example: "The elephant is the largest animal in the zoo."
- Example: "That is the most interesting book I have ever read."
- Example: "He is the best player on the team."

Rules for Choosing Between Comparative and Superlative Forms

Comparison between two: Use the comparative form.
- "This cake is sweeter than the other."
Comparison among more than two: Use the superlative form.
- "This is the sweetest cake of all."

Adverbs

Adverbs of degree modify the adjective
- very, extremely, quite, rather affect adjectives in both comparative and superlative forms.
  - Example: "This is a very interesting book."
  - Example: This is the most extremely beautiful work of art I've seen.
- more, less, the least are comparative indicators
  - Example: "This book is much less interesting than I expected."
