Comparatives and superlatives COMPARATIVE: Here are three different types of comparative structures in English: INFERIORITY, EQUALITY AND SUPERIORITY INFERIORITY COMPARATIVE: Structure: [less + than] ///// [not as .......as] Example: He is less intelligent than you Example: He is not as intelligent as you EQUALITY COMPARATIVE: Structure: [as + as] Example: He is as intelligent as you SUPERIORITY COMPARATIVE This type of comparative has two different structures depending on the lenght of the adjective: SHORT ADJECTIVES [-er + than]. Example: He is taller than me LONG ADJECTIVES [more + than] Example: He is more intelligent than me SPECIAL SPELLING Pretty - Prettier (The "y" is substituted by "i", and after that we add "-er". Large - Larger (We add just one "r" because the adjective finishes in "-e". Big - Bigger (If an adjective finishes in consonat+vowel+consonant, the last consonant is doubled and "-er" is added). IRREGULAR ADJECTIVES IN COMPARATIVE Good - Better Bad - Worse Far - Further SUPERLATIVE :In English, the superlative also has two different structures depending on the adjective length: SHORT ADJECTIVES Structure: [the + -est] Example: He is the tallest boy in the classroom LONG ADJECTIVES Structure: [ the most + adjetivo] Example: He is the most intelligent boy in the classroom IRREGULAR ADJECTIVES IN SUPERLATIVE Good - The best Bad - The worst Far - The furthest A.
