GRAMMAR - Comparatives

Comparative adjectives are used in English when we want to compare only two different things. They are very common and are therefore very useful to learn and to use ‘correctly’. I say ‘correctly’, because a lot of students know about and have some experience with comparatives, however, I am quite often ‘fixing’ them even with my advanced students.

First you must ask yourself, ‘How many things am I comparing?‘ If you are comparing only two things then you must use a comparative, if it’s three of more, then it must be a superlative (see below).

You then need to decide if the Adjective you are using is either one syllable, two syllables ending in ‘y’, or 2 or more syllables. The forms for each type are in the image.
