Comparison of adjectives: bigger, the biggest
Angleščina · 7. razred
Adjectives help us describe people, animals, and things in English. When we compare them, we use three different forms: the positive, the comparative, and the superlative.
Ključni pojmi
- Comparative
- A form used to compare two things using -er or 'more'.
- Superlative
- A form used to compare one thing with a whole group using -est or 'the most'.
- Than
- A word used to connect two things being compared.
- Irregular Adjectives
- Adjectives that change completely and do not follow standard spelling rules.
Short Adjectives
For short adjectives, we usually add -er for the comparative and -est for the superlative. If an adjective ends in -e, we just add -r or -st, like 'nicer.' For words ending in -y, change the -y to -i, such as 'funnier.' If a short word follows a consonant-vowel-consonant pattern, double the last letter, like 'bigger.'
- Use -er to compare two things.
- Use -est to compare one thing with a whole group.
- Change -y to -i before adding endings.
Long Adjectives
Long adjectives have two or more syllables and do not use -er or -est endings. Instead, we place the word 'more' before the adjective for the comparative form. For the superlative form, we use 'the most' before the adjective. For example, 'difficult' becomes 'more difficult' or 'the most difficult.'
- Use 'more' to say something is 'bolj'.
- Use 'the most' to say something is 'najbolj'.
- Do not add endings to long adjectives.
Irregular Forms and Key Words
Some adjectives are irregular, like 'good' becoming 'better' and 'bad' becoming 'worse.' You must memorize these because they change completely. When comparing two things, use the word 'than' to connect them. For the superlative form, always use 'the' before the adjective.
- Memorize irregular forms like good, bad, and far.
- Always use 'than' after a comparative adjective.
- Always use 'the' before a superlative adjective.
