Let’s go step by step.
We are comparing two things using
comparative adjectives. The words given (tall/short, big/small, ugly/beautiful) tell us which adjective to use — and we need to pick the right one based on what we see in the picture.
---
First pair: Nick and Eric
- Nick is taller than Eric → so we say “Nick is
taller than Eric.”
- Eric is shorter than Nick → so we say “Eric is
shorter than Nick.”
✔ Remember: For short adjectives like “tall” or “short”, we add
-er and then
than.
---
Second pair: Dog and Cat
- The dog is bigger than the cat → “The dog is
bigger than the cat.”
- The cat is smaller than the dog → “The cat is
smaller than the dog.”
✔ Again, “big” becomes “bigger”, “small” becomes “smaller”.
---
Third pair: Witch and Princess Anna
- The witch is uglier than Princess Anna → “The witch is
uglier than Princess Anna.”
- Princess Anna is more beautiful than the witch → “Princess Anna is
more beautiful than the witch.”
⚠️ Wait! “Ugly” ends with a ‘y’, so we change ‘y’ to ‘i’ and add ‘-er’ → “uglier”.
But “beautiful” is a long word — for long adjectives, we usually say
“more + adjective” instead of adding -er.
So:
→ “ugly” → “uglier”
→ “beautiful” → “more beautiful”

Now let’s write all the answers clearly:

Final Answer:
Nick is
taller than Eric.
Eric is
shorter than Nick.
The dog is
bigger than the cat.
The cat is
smaller than the dog.
The witch is
uglier than Princess Anna.
