1 Comparatives and Superlatives
Para formar el comparativo, se deben seguir las siguientes reglas: Se agrega al adjetivo "er" o "r", si ya termina en "e". small - smaller Si la palabra termina en vocal + consonante, se duplica la consonante. big - bigger Si termina en "y" se cambia por "ier". happy - happier

2 FAST – FASTER SLOW – SLOWER FUNNY – FUNNIER BIG – BIGGER CHEAP – CHEAPER

3 Cuando el adjetivo tiene más de tres sílabas, el comparativo se forma usando la palabra "more" adelante. expensive - more expensive careful - more careful Para comparar dos objetos en una oración, se agrega "than". This shirt is smaller than that shirt. Esta camisa es más chica que aquella camisa.

6 Los superlativos sirven para referirse a sustantivos que son los únicos que presentan una cualidad que los diferencia del resto. Como vimos, en la frase "a small shirt" (una camisa chica), small es un adjetivo. Si todas las demás camisas son grandes, se puede comparar usando el superlativo "the smallest shirt" (la camisa más chica). Siempre se agrega "the" adelante. Para formar el superlativo, se deben seguir las siguientes reglas: Se agrega al adjetivo "est" o "st", si ya termina en "e". small - the smallest Si la palabra termina en vocal + consonante, se duplica la consonante. big - the biggest Si termina en "y" se cambia por "iest". happy - the happiest
