Name: Vivian Daniela De La Cruz Hernández Key: 8 Theme: Comparatives | There are two ways to form a comparative adjetive: short adjetives have an "-er" added to the end, ei old becomes (older), and long adjetives use the word "more". For example expensive (expensive) becomes more expensive (more expensive). |
They are used to compare characteristicsor qualities between objects or people. | An example of a comparative adjective: the green ruler is large that the blue ruler. |
Just as two-syllable adjetives can form the comparative by writing -er, like one -syllable adjectives, or by placing more in front of the adjective, as occurs with three-syllable adjectives. | Short adjectives Most adjectives whit one syllable (short adjectives), we write the ending "-er" to form their comparative. |
Examples of short adjectives that end in "-e", just add "-r"... that end in a vowel and a consonant, make a double consonant and add "-er"... that end in "-y", change the "y" to "i" and add the ending "-er"... | Small / Smaller wide / Wider thin / Thinner heavy / Heavier |
Long adjectives For several adjectives with 2 or more syllables, we use "more" plus the original adjective. more + adjective | Examples of long adjectives |
Expensive / More expensive generous / More generous beautiful / More beautiful | Grade: Third Basic Section: B English homework |
