Comparative and superlative adjectives and adverbs
Exercise 1:Choose the correct comparative and superlative adjective and
adverbs to complete the dialogues below.
1.They arrived …
A.earlier than us B. more early than we. C.earlier than we
Early is an adverb in this sentence. Adverbs of one or two syllables are like adjectives;
they take -er in the comparative and -est in the superlative (early-earlier, late-later, fast-
faster, hard-harder, etc.)
➪ Also, after than or as … as we can use an object pronoun (me, you, him, etc.), or we
can also use a subject pronoun (I, you, he, etc.) + verb.
2.Please, can you drive … ?
more slowly / slowlier / most slowly
➪ Slowly is an adverb of manner that is formed by adding -ly to the adjtecive (slow).
➪ Adverbs ending in -ly take more to form the comparative, and the most to form the
superlative.
3.This is going to be … show you have ever seen.
the biggest / the bigest / the bigger
➪ One-syllable adjectives ending in consonant + vowel + consonant double the consonant
and take -er and -est in the comparative and superlative.
➪ We use the superlative (NOT the comparative) with the present perfect + ever.
4.My current job is …more stressful than my last job.
very / lot / much
➪ Before the comparative (more or –er) we can use much, a lot or a bit: much more
stressful, a lot more stressful, a bit more stressful.
5.He isn't as … you.
smarter as / smart as / smarter than
➪ When we compare two things, we can use more + adjective + than or we can also use
the form (not) as + adjective + as: smarter than, as smart as.
6.What is the … option in the menu? healthiest / healthier. / most healthy
➪ Healthy is an adjective of two syllables, and one-syllable or two-syllable adjectives
ending in -y turn the -y into -i and then take -er and -est in the comparative and
superlative.
➪ And we use the superlative form (NOT the comparative) when we are comparing more
than two things (in a menu there are always more than two options).
7.You aren't as determined … as I am / as I / than me
➪ In the sentence above we could say 'as determined as me' or 'as determined as I am'.
➪ After than or as … as we can use an object pronoun (me, you, him, etc.), or we can
also use a subject pronoun (I, you, he, etc.) + verb.
8.My great-grandmother is the oldest person … the family. in / from / of
➪ After the superlative we use in before names of places or before singular words
referring to groups of people (class, school, team, family, etc.)
9This is the greatest evening I … 've never had / ever had / 've ever had
➪ We often use a superlative adjective with the present perfect + ever.
10.York is a bit … than Leeds.
further / more far / farer
➪ Far has irregular comparative and superlative forms; the comparative is farther
than or further than and the superlative is the farther or the furthest.
Exercise 2:Choose the correct comparative and superlative adjective and
adverbs to complete each sentence.
1The south is _____ the north.
a. hotter than b. more hotter than c. more hot than
and take -er/-est in the comparative and superlative forms.
2We work _____ now with the new manager.
a. most happily b. more happily c. happilier
➪ Happily is an adverb that is formed by adding -ly to the adjective happy. Adverbs that
are formed by adding -ly to the adjective (adverbs of manner), take more to form the
comparative, and the most to form the superlative.
➪ We need a comparative and not superlative because we are comparing two things (how
we work now and how we worked before).
3He is ______ England.
a. the most famous painter in b. the famousest painter in c. the most famous painter
of
➪ Famous takes most in the superlative because it's a two-syllable adjective.
➪ And after superlatives we use in before names of places.
4Tuesdays are _____ than Mondays.
a. much more busy b. much more busier c. a lot busier
➪ Busy is an adjective of two syllables, and one-syllable or two-syllable adjectives ending
in -y turn the -y into -i and then take -er and -est in the comparative and superlative.
5It's the worst experience _____.
