Comparatives
Forming regular comparatives
Forming comparatives and superlatives is easy. The form depends on the number of syllables in the original
adjective.

One syllable adjectives

Add -er for the comparative. If the adjective has a consonant + single vowel + consonant spelling, the final
consonant must be doubled before adding the ending.
tall taller
fat fatter
big bigger
sad sadder

Two syllables
Adjectives with two syllables can form the comparative either by adding -er or by preceeding the adjective
with more.
If you are not sure whether a two-syllable adjective can take a comparative or superlative ending, play it safe
and use more and most instead. For adjectives ending in y, change the y to an i before adding the ending.
happy happier
simple simpler
busy busier
tilted more tilted
tangled more tangled

Three or more syllables

Adjectives with three or more syllables form the comparative by putting more in front of the adjective
important more important
expensive more expensive

Irregular comparatives
These very common adjectives have completely irregular comparative forms.
good better
bad worse
little less
much more
far further / farther

Examples
Today is the worst day I've had in a long time.
You play tennis better than I do.
This is the least expensive sweater in the store.
This sweater is less expensive than that one.
I ran pretty far yesterday, but I ran even farther today.

Superlatives
Superlative adjectives
Superlative adjectives are used to describe an object which is at the upper or lower limit of
a quality (the tallest, the smallest, the fastest, the highest). They are used in sentences
where a subject is compared to a group of objects.
 Review
Noun (subject) + verb + the + superlative adjective + noun (object).

The group that is being compared with can be omitted if it is clear from the context (final
example below).
 My house is the largest one in our neighborhood.
 This is the smallest box I've ever seen.
 Your dog ran the fastest of any dog in the race.
 We all threw our rocks at the same time. My rock flew the highest. ("of all the
rocks" is understood)

Forming regular superlatives

Forming superlatives is easy. The form depends on the number of syllables in the original
adjective.

One syllable adjectives

Add  -est for the superlative. If the adjective has a consonant + single vowel + consonant
spelling, the final consonant must be doubled before adding the ending.
Adjective Superlative

tall tallest

fat fattest

big biggest

sad saddest
Two syllables
Adjectives with two syllables can form the superlative either by adding -est or by
preceeding the adjective with most. In many cases, both forms are used, although one usage
will be more common than the other. If you are not sure whether a two-syllable adjective
can take a superlative ending, play it safe and use more and most instead. For adjectives
ending in y, change the y to an i before adding the ending.
Adjective Superlative

happy happiest

simple simplest

busy busiest

tilted most tilted

tangled most tangled

Three or more syllables
Adjectives with three or more syllables form the comparative by putting more in front of
the adjective, and the superlative by putting most in front.
Adjective Superlative

important most important

expensive most expensive

 Review
Irregular comparatives and superlatives
These very common adjectives have completely irregular comparative and superlative

Adjective Superlative

 You play tennis better than I do.
 This is the least expensive sweater in the store.
 This sweater is less expensive than that one.
