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
As good as gold As poor as a church
mouse As brave as a lion As black as coal As blind as a bat As pale as a ghost
As fierce as a tiger As light as a feather As white as a sheet As white as snow As wise as an owl
proud - shy - tidy - quiet - funny - nice - impatient - nervous - curious pessimistic - friendly - generous - patient - messy - talkative - optimistic sensitive - hardworking
