Review: Adjectives and Adverbs

Most adjectives and adverbs have positive, comparative, and superlative forms.

- Comparative: Used to compare two things (e.g., *bigger*, *faster*)
- Superlative: Used to compare three or more things (e.g., *biggest*, *fastest*)

A. Write the correct form of the adjective to complete each sentence. Write positive, comparative, or superlative to identify the form you wrote.

1. The glasses look ______ than they did last year.
→ better (comparative)
*Explanation:* We're comparing the current state of the glasses to how they looked last year. "Better" is the comparative form of "good."

2. The silver looks ______ than your piece, too.
→ shinier (comparative)
*Explanation:* Comparing the shine of two pieces of silver. "Shinier" is the comparative form of "shiny."

3. Wait polished the silver until it was ______ shiny.
→ very (adverb modifying "shiny") — but note: this asks for an adjective, so likely the intended answer is most shiny or shiniest.
→ shiniest (superlative)
*Explanation:* The sentence implies the silver reached its highest level of shininess. "Shiniest" is the superlative form.

4. Grandma got out her ______ silver plate.
→ best (superlative)
*Explanation:* She's choosing the most valuable or favorite plate. "Best" is the superlative of "good."

5. Grandpa’s birthday was his ______ one yet.

→ higher (comparative)
*Explanation:* They climb upward, comparing elevation. "Higher" is the comparative form of "high."
*(Note: If only one hiker, use "high"; but since it's general movement toward a peak, "higher" fits as comparative progress.)*

📌 Key Tips:

- Adjectives describe nouns (e.g., *the shiny silver*).
- Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs (e.g., *he runs fast*).
- Use comparative when comparing two things.
- Use superlative when comparing three or more things.
- For irregular words (like *good/better/best*, *bad/worse/worst*), memorize the forms.
