Unit 5 /The comparative and superlative

To make the comparative form of adjectives (like 'bigger' or 'more expensive') and the superlative form (like 'biggest' or 'most expensive'), first we need to know how many syllables are in the adjective.

Adjectives with one syllable

Usually if an adjective has only one syllable, we add (adjective+'er' +than)to make the comparative form. We add\

(the + adjective+ 'est' )to make the superlative form.

• clean → cleaner  than/ the cleanest
• cold → colder than /the  coldest
• small → smaller than / the smallest
• young → younger than / the youngest
• tall → taller than / the tallest

  For adjectives with two syllables we generally use 'more' or 'most'.
