Let’s solve each sentence one by one. We’re changing the word in brackets to its correct comparative or superlative form.
---
a) Jim's bicycle is (big) __________ than mine.
- “Than” tells us we need the
comparative form.
- “Big” → comparative is
bigger (add -er, and double the ‘g’ because it’s a short vowel + consonant).
✔ Correct:
bigger
---
b) I have the (good) __________ video games at my house.
- “The” before the blank suggests we’re talking about the
best — so this is
superlative.
- “Good” is irregular → superlative is
best.
✔ Correct:
best
---
c) My baby brother is (noisy) __________ than a motorbike!
- Again, “than” = comparative.
- “Noisy” ends in ‘y’, so change ‘y’ to ‘i’ and add ‘-er’ →
noisier
✔ Correct:
noisier
---
d) Kerry is the (slow) __________ runner out of the three of us.
- “Out of the three” means we’re comparing more than two → use
superlative.
- “Slow” → add ‘-est’ →
slowest
✔ Correct:
slowest
---
e) The flowers in the garden are the (beautiful) __________ I've ever seen!
- “I’ve ever seen” implies comparison with all others →
superlative.
- “Beautiful” has 3+ syllables → use “most” + adjective →
most beautiful
✔ Correct:
most beautiful
---
Final Answer:
a) bigger
b) best
c) noisier
d) slowest
e) most beautiful
