Degrees of Comparison (AKA Superlatives!!)
Rule 1: Simple Form
Rule 2: Comparative Form
Rule 3: Superlative Form
7
The Simple Form
Describing ONE thing
Example: fast, nervous, good
Look at the pink!!
8
The Comparative Form
Describing TWO things
add -er to your simple form (look at the yellow!)
Example: fastER, bettER
Sometimes we have to add the word more
Example: more nervous
not...nervousER..that's silly.
9
The Superlative Form
Describing THREE OR MORE things (look at the blue!!)
add -est to the simple form
Example: fastEST, best (irregular)
Sometimes we have to add the word most
Example: most nervous
still not nervousest...also silly.
10
Irregulars? Of course.
Sometimes English is weird. Sometimes you just have to memorize the weird ones:
Simple: good, bad/ill, little (amount), much/many
Comparative: better, worse, less/lesser, more
Superlative: best, worst, least, most
