adjectives: comparative and superlative
comparative: add “er” to the end of a short adjective to make it comparative. add “more” before a long adjective to make it comparative. We usually use the comparative adjective with the word “than” to compare two things
ex: small:smaller; long:longer; happy:happier; smelly:smellier
ex: curious: more curious; painful: more painful; comfortable: more comfortable
ex: My couch is more comfortable than my bed. My hair is longer than Sally’s hair. That dog is happier than your dog.
superlative: add “est” to the end of a short adjective to make it superlative. add “most” before a long adjective to make it superlative. Use superlative adjectives to compare something to everything else of that type.
ex: small:smaller:smallest; happy:happier:happiest
ex: curious: more curious: most curious; painful:more painful:most painful; comfortable:more comfortable:most comfortable.
