Printable worksheet for practicing comparative and superlative adjectives.

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
