Comparatives
We use comparatives to compare two people, animals or things. We often use the word than after the comparative form.
e.g. Bob is taller than Mark. / Your car is bigger than mine.
• Short adjectives: Add –er to short adjectives to make the comparative form.
strong – stronger
 NOTE: If the adjective ends in –y , you take off –y and you add –ier.
e.g. healthy - healthier / easy - easier / pretty - prettier
• Long adjectives: With long adjectives we use the word more before the adjective
to make the comparative form. e.g. beautiful - more beautiful
Superlatives
We use superlatives to compare one person or thing to several others.
e.g. This is the youngest pupil in the class.

• Short adjectives: To form the superlative of short adjectives, we put the word the before the adjective and add the ending –est.
 clever - cleverest
NOTE: If the adjective ends in –y, you take off -y and you add –iest.
lazy - laziest / crazy – craziest / pretty - prettiest
• Long adjectives: To make the superlative form of a long adjective, we put the words the most before the adjective.
expensive - the most expensive / difficult - the most difficult
Be careful! Some adjectives have irregular comparative and superlative forms.

good better  the best
bad worse  the worst
many/much more the most
little less the least
