Comparatives Game: rules and examples
Comparative adjectives compare two people or things; superlatives single out one from a group. This comparative and superlative game practises short and long adjectives, spelling changes, irregular forms, and equal or lower comparisons in English sentences.
01
Comparatives: two people or things
Short adjectives often take -er; longer adjectives usually take more. Follow a comparative with than when you name the other person or thing.
The blue box is bigger than the red box.
Big doubles g before -er.This book is more interesting than that one.
Use more with a longer adjective.
02
Superlatives: one in a group
Use the + -est with many short adjectives, or the most + a longer adjective. A superlative usually compares at least three members of a group.
This is the tallest building on the street.
One building stands out from a group.It is the most expensive coat in the shop.
Use the most with expensive.
03
Spelling: big, wide and happy
Double the final consonant in big → bigger/biggest. Add only -r/-st after final e. Change consonant + y to i before -er/-est.
big – bigger – the biggest
Double g.wide – wider – the widest
Keep the e and add r or st.happy – happier – the happiest
Change y to i.
04
Irregular forms and other degrees
Good and bad do not follow the usual endings. Use as ... as for equality, less ... than for a lower degree and the least for the lowest member of a group.
good – better – the best
An irregular pattern.bad – worse – the worst
Another irregular pattern.These bags are as heavy as each other.
They weigh the same.
