Comparatives
Comparatives are used to compare two things. You can use sentences with THAN, or you can use a conjunction like BUT. Examples:
•Jiro is taller than Yukio. •Yukio is tall, but Jiro is taller.
Superlatives
Superlatives are used to compare more than two things. Superlative sentences usually use THE, because there is only one superlative. Examples:
•Masami is the tallest in the class. •Yukio is tall, and Jiro is taller, but Masami is the tallest.
Jiro
Yukio
Masami
We form the comparative and superlative adjective (Cheap) and long Ajectives (expensive) in different ways.
Adjective form Comparative Superlative
Only one syllable, ending in E. Examples:wide, fine, cute
Add -R:wider, finer, cuter
Add -ST:widest, finest, cutest
Only one syllable, with one vowel and one consonant at the end. Examples:hot, big, fat
Double the consonant, and add -ER:hotter, bigger, fatter
Double the consonant, and add -EST:hottest, biggest, fattest
Only one syllable, with more than one vowel or more than one consonant at the end. Examples:light, neat, fast
Add -ER:lighter, neater, faster
Add -EST:lightest, neatest, fastest
Two syllables, ending in Y. Examples:happy, silly, lonely
Change Y to I, then add -ER:happier, sillier, lonelier
Change Y to I, then add -EST:happiest, silliest, loneliest
Two syllables or more, not ending in Y. Examples:modern, interesting, beautiful
Use MORE before the adjective:more modern, more interesting, more beautiful
Use MOST before the adjective:most modern, most interesting, most beautiful
A few of the comparatives and superlatives in English do not follow the usual pattern. Here is a list of common exceptions.
