THE COMPARISON OF ADJECTIVES

Let’s learn something new!

The comparison is used

when we compare two people or things.The easiest rule is: add the ending –er to

one-syllable words and to two syllable words ending in –y, e.g.Fast – fasterEasy – easierBig - bigger

COMPARISON of ADJECTIVES

 

SHORT LONG

 

ADJECTIVE cheap expensive

 

COMPARATIVE cheaper (than) more expensive (than)

 

In sentences:

Comparisons involve at least two people or two things. We use than before the second part of the comparison:

Peter is taller than JimThis car is faster than that one.

Long adjectives:

Put more (adverb of degree) in front of longer words, e.g.difficult – more difficult interesting – more interestingbeautiful – more beautiful

In sentences:Mary is more beautiful than Sally.This book is more interesting than that one.

Superlative

The superlative of a word is used to compare three or more things/people and to pick out one thing/person as more “X” than all the others.Everest is the highest mountain in the

world. It is also the most famous mountain in the

world.

SUPERLATIVE of ADJECTIVES

  SHORT LONG

 

ADJECTIVE cheap expensive

SUPERLATIVE the cheapest the most expensive

Remember:

adjectives are compared like this:big – bigger – the biggesteasy – easier – the easiest interesting – more interesting – the most

interesting famous – more famous – the most famous

Irregularities:

Certain adjectives have separate forms for comparative and superlative, or are in some other way “irregular”:good – better – the best (the same is used

for ‘well’, meaning ‘in good health’)bad, ill, evil – worse – the worstmany, much – more – the most

Different forms

Some adjectives form their comparative and superlative degrees in two ways:old – older/elder – the oldest/eldest far – farther/further – the farthest/furthest late – later – the latest/lastnear – nearer – the nearest/next

Note the difference in meaning:

elder – born first of the two eldest – born before the other members of the

family farther/further – longer in distance further – more, extra latest – newest last – final nearest – closest next – the one after this

Don’t forget:

As…as…John is as tall as Bob.Your house is as large as mine.

Not so/as.. as..This book is not so interesting as that one.The tree is not as tall as the building over

there.

In idioms
