Adjectives Superlative and Comparative Worksheets


My kid has this English homework on comparative and superlative adjectives! Could you help us out with these?
Here's one of the exercises we came across:
Fill in the blanks with the correct comparative or superlative form of the adjectives in parentheses:
1-This book is (interesting) than the one we read last week.
2-She’s the (good) singer in the class.
Would really appreciate your help! Thanks 😊

Hello, Weyana! I’d be happy to help with comparative and superlative adjectives! Let’s break it down.
1. This book is (interesting) than the one we read last week.
- With comparatives, we usually add "-er" or use "more" with adjectives that are longer. One way to tell if you should use "more" is by counting the number of syllables (vowel sounds) in the adjective. If the adjective has two or more syllables, we typically use "more".
- Since "interesting" has four syllables, we use "more". So, the comparative form of "interesting" is "more interesting." Therefore, the sentence should be:
"This book is more interesting than the one we read last week."
2. She’s the (good) singer in the class.
- For superlatives, we usually add "-est" or use "most" with longer adjectives. Superlative form of "good" is "best." So, the sentence should be:
"She’s the best singer in the class."
I hope that helps clear things up! Thanks, and hope this helps! 😊
