Use the comparative for two things and the superlative for three or more.

Example

strong, stronger, strongest
dangerous, more dangerous, most dangerous

3Making the forms

  • Short words: add er or est.
  • Double the last letter after a short vowel: hot, hotter, hottest.

  • Long words: use more and most.

4Irregular forms

Some words change completely.

  • good, better, best
  • bad, worse, worst
  • many, more, most

5Adverbs

An adverb tells more about a verb, an adjective or another adverb.

  • Manner (how): beautifully
  • Time (when): tomorrow
