Comparatives and superlatives

Comparatives and superlatives

Do you want to practise using comparatives and superlatives in English?

We can use comparatives to compare things and superlatives to say which thing is top in a group.

Cats are faster than mice. Science is more difficult than maths. The cheetah is the fastest animal. I think art is the most difficult subject.

For adjectives with one syllable, add er and est . Sometimes the spelling changes. Don't forget the for the superlative.

tall - taller - the tallest I'm taller than my brother. My father is the tallest in my family. big - bigger - the biggest My room is bigger than my sister's room. Our parents' room is the biggest room in the house.

For adjectives with two syllables which end in y , take away the y and add ier and iest . Don't forget the for the superlative.

easy - easier - the easiest Maths is easier than science. English is the easiest subject.

For other adjectives with two or more syllables, use more and most . Don't forget the for the superlative.

interesting - more interesting - the most interesting That book is more interesting than my homework. This TV programme is the most interesting !

The adjectives good , bad and far have special forms.

good - better - the best bad - worse - the worst far - further - the furthest

Hi everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love playing Word 2 Word, but I have a different opinion. I think Saturday is much better than Sunday. For me, Sunday is boring, even during vacation! But everyone can have their own opinion and I respect that! ❤️

I don not game.You can make a game like this: Step 1: Choose a male or female doll. Step 2: Write a phrase or sentence on the doll's forehead. Step 3: Place 3 to 4 outfits next to it. Step 4: Write words on the doll's clothes and give one word that matches the phrase on the doll's forehead. The way to play is to dress the doll in the outfit with the word that matches the blank space on the doll's forehead. Thank you.

Did you ever play this game? Is it fun?

I love this game. I love ENGLISHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

I got 100% at both games

Hi everyone, I'm 8 years old. When I watched this, I can learn the adjectives that use "est", "er", more and most. Now I will give you an example. Today, my family and I'll eat pizza and rice for dinner, but rice is more delicious than pizza. I think Spaghetti is the most delicious food.

Hi TopazXylophoneTonight,

I'm happy you liked the game! I'm sorry we don't have many games like that one at the moment. But when we add more games to the site, we'll try to make some more like this one :-)
