| 3 | Big | Bigger | The biggest |
| 4 | Weak | Weaker | The weakest |
| 5 | Strong | Stronger | The strongest |
| 6 | Dirty | Dirtier | The dirtiest |
| 7 | Young | Younger | The youngest |
| 8 | Good | Better | The best |
| 9 | Busy | Busier | The busiest |
| 10 | Tidy | Tidier | The tidiest |
| 11 | Bad | Worse | The worst |
| 12 | Little | Less/Littler | The least/The littlest |

Explanation of Each Row:

1. Small:
- Comparative: "Smaller" (used to compare two things).
- Superlative: "The smallest" (used to indicate the smallest among more than two things).

2. Interesting:
- Comparative: "More interesting" (uses "more" because it ends in "-ing").
- Superlative: "The most interesting" (uses "most" because it ends in "-ing").

3. Big:
- Comparative: "Bigger" (regular comparative ending "-er").
- Superlative: "The biggest" (regular superlative ending "-est").

4. Weak:
- Comparative: "Weaker" (regular comparative ending "-er").
- Superlative: "The weakest" (regular superlative ending "-est").

5. Strong:
- Comparative: "Stronger" (regular comparative ending "-er").
- Superlative: "The strongest" (regular superlative ending "-est").

6. Dirty:
- Comparative: "Dirtier" (given in the table).
- Superlative: "The dirtiest" (regular superlative ending "-est").

7. Young:

- Superlative: "The youngest" (regular superlative ending "-est").

8. Good:
