WEEK #1: Comparative and Superlative



Did you know that adjectives can be comparative or superlative?


Comparative adjectives are used to compare two items and superlatives compare three or more items. Comparatives usually end in "er" and superlatives usually end in "est." The following are basic adjectives that you need to transform into comparative and superlative. Some will not change regularly. Some may need more or most added to them, while others will be completely different words. Spelling does count. Remember that all answers must be e-mailed to me before next Tuesday.
