- 3Forming regular comparatives and superlatives Forming comparatives and superlatives is easy. The form depends on the number of syllables in the original adjective.One syllable adjectives.
Add -er for the comparative and -est for the superlative.
- 4Two syllables Adjectives with two syllables can form the comparative either by adding -er or by preceeding the adjective with more. These adjectives form the superlative either by adding -est or by preceeding the adjective with most. In many cases, both forms are used, although one usage will be more common than the other.Three or more syllables
Adjectives with three or more syllables form the comparative by putting more in front of the adjective, and the superlative by putting most in front.
- 5Irregular comparatives and superlatives These very common adjectives have completely irregular comparative and superlative forms.Examples:
This sweater is less expensive than that one.
You play tennis better than I do.
Today is the worst day I've had in a long time.

- 7Elegimos el método de fichas de estudio ya que nunca habíamos utilizado este método de forma online, lo mas interesante es que se pueden agregar imágenes a las fichas para facilitar el aprendizaje a través de la memoria visual. Lo que mas nos resulto agradable de poder desarrollar estas fichas de estudio en línea es que uno puede tener acceso a ellas desde cualquier dispositivo, y lo mas importante aun, en estos tiempos es que al hacerlo de manera digital no se imprime en papel por ende es sumamente sustentable.Bibliografia:
