20 ejercisios de ingles de comparativa forms of adjetive?

Adjectives have inflections.

That is, adjectives change in spelling according to how they are used in a sentence.

Adjectives have three forms : positive, comparative, andsuperlative.

The simplest form of the adjective is itspositiveform.

When two objects or persons are being compared, thecomparativeform of the adjective is used.

When three or more things are being compared, we use the adjective’ssuperlativeform.

A few adjectives, likegoodandbadform their comparatives with different words : That is agoodbook.

This is abetterbook.

Which of the three is thebestbook?

He made abadchoice.

She made aworsechoice.

They made theworstchoice of all.

The comparative forms of most adjectives, however, are formed by adding the suffixes

–erand –est, or by placing the wordsmoreandmostin front of the positive form.

1.

One syllable words form the comparative by adding - er and - est :

brave, braver, bravest

small, smaller, smallest

dark, darker, darkest.

pretty, prettier, prettiest

happy, happier, happiest

noble, nobler, noblest

clever, cleverer, cleverest3.

Words of more than two syllables form the comparative withmoreandmost :

beautiful, more beautiful, most beautiful.

Resonant, more resonant, most resonant4.

Past participles used as adjectives form the comparative withmoreandmost :

crooked, broken, damaged, defeated, etc.

5. Predicate adjectives (adjectives used to describe the subject of a sentence) form the comparative withmoreandmost :

afraid, mute, certain, alone, silent, etc.

So far, so good, but when it comes to two - syllable words other than the ones covered byRule 2, the writer must consider custom and ease of pronunciation.

Usually, two syllable words that have the accent on the first syllable form the comparative by adding –erand –est.

Ex. common, cruel, pleasant, quiet.

BUT tasteless, more tasteless, most tasteless.

Some two - syllable words that have the accent on the second syllable form the comparative by adding –erand –est : polite, profound,

The rules given above should prevent abominations like “more pretty” or “beautifuler.
