Worksheet for practicing comparative adjectives in English grammar.

Let's solve both activities step by step.

Activity 1: Write the comparatives

We need to write the comparative form of each adjective. The rules for forming comparatives are:

- One syllable adjectives: Add -er (e.g., big → bigger)
- Two syllable adjectives ending in -y: Change y → i + er (e.g., happy → happier)
- Two syllable adjectives not ending in -y: Usually add -er or use more + adjective
- Three or more syllables: Use more + adjective (e.g., beautiful → more beautiful)

Now, let’s go through each one:

1. new → newer
2. long → longer
3. expensive → more expensive (3+ syllables)
4. big → bigger
5. small → smaller
6. good → better (irregular)
7. bad → worse (irregular)
8. fast → faster
9. thin → thinner
10. pretty → prettier (ends in -y → change y to i + er)
11. slow → slower
12. beautiful → more beautiful
13. exciting → more exciting
14. fat → fatter
15. clean → cleaner
16. handsome → more handsome
17. young → younger
18. large → larger
