Comparative and superlative adjectives

Comparative and superlative adjectives

1. The comparative and superlative adjectives arise from adjectives, which describe the noun

   • Comparative Adjetives
     • The comparative adjetives indicate superiority of someone or something compared to another, hence the term "comparative"
       • Example
         • Angel is smaller than Richard
           • The adjetive is small, in comparative form this adjetive change to "Smaller"
   • Superlative Adjetives
     • The Superlative adjectives are very similar to comparative adjectives. Its difference is that instead of comparing with another subject, a greater number of subjects compared
       • Example
         • Marina is the oldest of her family
           • The adjetive is "old", in the superlative form this adjetive change to "Oldest"
       • Rules
         • 1.-If the adjective is monosyllable, for comparative add "er" and for superlative add "est"
           • 2.-If the adjective has 2 or more syllables, add "more" to the comparative adjective, and "most" to the superlative adjective before the adjective
             • 3.-If the adjective ends in "e", we add "r" to the comparative adjective, and "st" to the superlative adjective
               • 4.-If the adjective ends in "y", we change "y" for "ier" to the comparative adjective, and we change for "iest" for superlative adjective
                 • 5.-If the adjective is irregular, change completely
