Adjectives AdjectivesList of Adjectives Comparative and Superlative Adjectives Adjective WorksheetsA comparative adjective is used to compare two things. A superlative adjective is used when you compare three or more things. For example, looking at apples you can compare their size, determining which is big, which is bigger, and which is biggest. The comparative ending (suffix) for short, common adjectives is generally "-er"; the superlative suffix is generally "-est." For most longer adjectives, the comparative is made by adding the word "more" (for example, more comfortable) and the superlative is made by adding the word "most" (for example, most comfortable).If a 1-syllable adjective ends in "e", the endings are "-r" and "-st", for example: wise, wiser, wisest.If a 1-syllable adjective ends in "y", the endings are "-er" and "-est", but the y is sometimes changed to an "i". For example: dry, drier, driest.If a 1-syllable adjective ends in a consonant (with a single vowel preceding it), then the consonant is doubled and the endings "-er" and "-est" are used, for example: big, bigger, biggest.If a 2-syllable adjective ends in "e", the endings are "-r" and "-st", for example: gentle, gentler, gentlest.If a 2-syllable adjective ends in "y", the endings are "-ier" and "-iest", for example: happy, happier, happiest.Some 2-syllable adjectives use the standard "-er" and "-est suffixes", including adjectives that end in "er", "le", or "ow". For example: narrow, narrower, narrowest.For most adjectives with two or more syllables, the comparative is formed by adding the word "more," and you form the superlative by adding the word "most", for example: colorful, more colorful, most colorful.Some comparative and superlative adjectives are irregular, including some very common ones such as good/better/best and bad/worse/worst.1-syllable adjectivesending in a consonant with a single vowel preceding it big bigger biggestfat fatter fattestred redder reddestsad sadder saddestthin thinner thinnest1-syllable adjectivesending in "y" dry drier driestspry sprier/spryer spriest/spryestwry wrier/wryer wriest/wryest1-syllable adjectives,other cases fast faster fastestgreat greater greatestquick quicker quickestshort shorter shortesttall taller tallest2-syllable adjectivesending in "e" fickle fickler ficklesthandsome handsomer handsomestpolite politer politest2-syllable adjectivesending in "y"bumpy bumpier bumpiestheavy heavier heaviesticy icier iciestshiny shinier shiniesttiny tinier tiniest2-syllable adjectivesending in "le", or "ow" able abler ablestgentle gentler gentlesthollow hollower hollowestnarrow narrower narrowestshallow shallower shallowestsimple simpler simplest2 or more syllable adjectives,other cases beautiful more beautiful most beautiful colorful more colorful most colorful complete more complete most complete delicious more delicious most delicious generous more generous most generousimportant more important most importantIrregular and confusing adjectives bad worse worstfar (place) farther farthestfar (place or time) further furthest good better bestlate (time) later latestlate (order) latter lastlittle (size) littler littlestlittle (amount) less leastmany/much/some more mostold (people or things) older oldest old (people) elder eldest Related Activities and Worksheets: Biggest Things: Draw and Write 3 Things

In this lesson based on a video about technology then and now, students learn and practise comparative and superlative adjectives while discussing how their favourite gadgets have changed over time.


The lesson begins with a discussion about gadgets and ways in which technology makes our lives easier or more difficult. Then, students watch two parts of a video and their first task is to find out which technologies are compared. After that, they focus on four gapped sentences from the video and try to guess the missing information.


After the video activity, students read seven sentences describing four objects/technological inventions (a car, a laptop, an ebook and a mobile phone). They have to decide which one each sentence describes. Then, they analyse the sentences again, but this time they focus on the comparative and superlative adjectives in them. Students answer four questions about the comparative forms and then four questions about the superlative forms and how they are used in English. They also explore some features of the irregular adjectives (big, heavy, good/bad). Having answered the questions, students complete a table summarising the use of comparative and superlative adjectives.


The lesson finishes with a game which students play in two teams. Each team listens to some clues about an object and must guess what it is. The fewer clues the team needs to guess the object, the more points they receive (from 5 points if they know the answer after the first clue to 1 point if they need all five clues). Then, students work in groups, come up with a gadget that most people know and create five sentences using comparative and superlative adjectives. They give the clues to the other group one by one and then try to guess their gadgets.


With this lesson, students discuss the topics people talk about when they first meet. They also practise Present Perfect and Past Simple, watch a video about people who have just met and do a role play activity.
