Comparatives

 They help us compare 2 people or things

Example:

A is smaller than B, B is bigger than A.

A is more expensive than B, B is cheaper than A


If the word has a syllable or 2, "er" is added at the end

Bigger -> Bigger

Spicy -> Spicier


With 2 syllables more or less is added

Careful -> more careful, less careful


With 3 or more syllables more or less is added

interesting -> more interesting, less interesting


In a sentence in which we want to use compratives, it is structured as follows:


X + be verb + comparative Adjective + than Y


Example:

C is the most expensive of the three universities.


Superlative -est we use it when we want to compare more than 2 things or people:


With words of 1 and 2 syllables we add est at the end

spicy -> spiciest


With words of 2,3 or more syllables, most-least is added

caraful -> most careful, least careful

interesting -> most interesting, least interesting

To use in sentences, it is structured as follows:

Sub1 + be verb + as + adjective + as + Subejct 2


An example of this applied to real life can be found in the song by the artist Christine Aguilera entitled "fighter":


"Cause it makes that much stronger"

(Taken from the song by christine Aguilera entitled "fighter")
