Let's solve the Comparative and Superlative Adjectives Worksheet #1 step by step.

🔹 What are Comparative and Superlative Forms?


- Comparative: Used to compare two things. (e.g., "This dog is *bigger* than that one.")
- Superlative: Used to compare three or more things. (e.g., "This is the *biggest* dog in the park.")

🔹 Rules:


1. One-syllable adjectives → Add -er (comparative), -est (superlative).
- Example: big → bigger → biggest
2. Two-syllable adjectives ending in -y → Change -y to -i, add -er / -est.
- Example: happy → happier → happiest
3. Other two-syllable adjectives and all multi-syllable adjectives → Use more/less (comparative), most/least (superlative).
- Example: beautiful → more beautiful → most beautiful

| Adjective | Comparative Form | Superlative Form |
|----------|------------------|------------------|
| big | bigger | biggest |
| hot | hotter | hottest |

| strong | stronger | strongest |
| soft | softer | softest |

| loud | louder | loudest |
| wealthy | wealthier | wealthiest |
| rough | rougher | roughest |

Explanation for Each:



1. big → One syllable → add -er/-est → bigger, biggest
2. hot → One syllable → hotter, hottest
3. sick → Ends in -ck, but one syllable → sicker, sickest
4. rich → One syllable → richer, richest
5. strong → One syllable → stronger, strongest
6. soft → One syllable → softer, softest
7. cold → One syllable → colder, coldest
8. poor → One syllable → poorer, poorest
9. loud → One syllable → louder, loudest
10. wealthy → Two syllables, ends in -y → change y to i → wealthier, wealthiest
11. rough → One syllable → rougher, roughest
12. weak → One syllable → weaker, weakest
13. quiet → One syllable → quieter, quietest
14. short → One syllable → shorter, shortest

> All these adjectives are one-syllable or end in -y (like "wealthy"), so we apply the standard rules.
