comparative form to correctly complete the sentences.

✔ What is a comparative adjective?
It’s used to compare
two things. Most one-syllable adjectives add
“-er” (e.g., fast → faster). For longer adjectives (usually 2+ syllables), we use
“more” before the adjective (e.g., scary → more scary). Some adjectives are irregular (like “good → better”).
Let’s go through each sentence and fill in the correct comparative form:
---
1) funny → funnier
> *The clown tells ______ jokes than my dad.*
→ “Funny” is one syllable → add “-er”.
✔ Answer: funnier
---
2) fast → faster
> *We agree that the blue roller coaster is ______ than the red.*
→ One syllable → “-er”
✔ Answer: faster
---
3) tasty → tastier
> *My sister thinks her funnel cake is ______ than my candy apple.*
→ “Tasty” ends in “y”, so change “y” to “i” and add “-er” → tastier
✔ Answer: tastier
---
4) large → larger
> *However, my pizza slice is ______ than hers.*
→ One syllable → “-er”
✔ Answer: larger
---
5) long → longer
> *The line to the boy’s bathroom is ______ than the girl’s.*
→ One syllable → “-er”
✔ Answer: longer
---
6) scary → scarier
> *Many children think the haunted house is ______ than last year’s.*
→ Ends in “y” → change to “i” + “-er”
✔ Answer: scarier
---
7) fluffy → fluffier
> *The teddy bear I won is ______ than the one I have at home.*
→ Ends in “y” → “i” + “-er”
✔ Answer: fluffier
---

Tip for students: Remember — if an adjective has
one syllable, usually just add
“-er”. If it ends in
“y”, change the “y” to “i” and add “-er”. For longer words (like “beautiful”), use “more” — but none of these require “more”.
Hope this helps you ace your worksheet! 🎡🎉
