Comparative and superlative good

A lot of people are engaged in learning the English language, because it has almost officially become the world language. Everyone knows this foreign language to one degree or another: someone can say hello, and someone freely speaks on absolutely any topic. Everyone who studies English sooner or later comes across adjectives. In this article we will analyze their comparative and superlatives. What are the exceptions? What is a good superlative?

Comparative and superlative adjectives

When we describe something, we use adjectives to color our speech and make it more emotional. In such situations, there is often a need to compare objects or highlight the best.

So, to make a comparative degree, you need to add -er to the adjective, and for excellent –est, for example:

• clever - smart
• cleverer - smarter
• the cleverest - the smartest, smartest (the must be added)

To adjectives, in which three syllables (and more), prefixes are not added, and before them for a comparative degree is written more / less, for excellent - the most:

• beautiful in English means beautiful
• more and less beautiful - more and less beautiful
• superlative - the most beautiful - beautiful

You can practice a little.

Exceptions

As with any English rule, there are exceptions. There is no pattern here, you just need to learn words (and there are not many), which have different degrees.

Exceptions include such adjectives: bad, good, much / many, little, old, far. The first two will be described in the next paragraph, since the superlatives good and bad are the most difficult and difficult to remember.

Far and old have two options. Is there any difference? Which option to use in what situation?

Farther and the farthest are used to indicate real distance, for example: The first road is farther than the second (The first road is longer than the second).

Further translates as further (further understanding).

Older is used to objects and people. We can use this to compare the age of non-relatives (Mary is older than Mike - Mary is older than Mike. His car is older than yours - His car is older than yours).

Elder is used only for people with close relatives (brother and sister, father and mother). Since elder is not used than. For example, my brother elder my sister (my brother is older than my sister).

Comparative and Superb Good & Bad

As said, good and bad are the most poorly remembered, since their degree does not coincide with the basis.

At good, comparative is better, and the best is superlative. In degrees, there is not a single letter from the word good.

Bad is about the same. The comparative degree is worse, the worst is excellent.

Examples: It is better to buy black shoes.

My mom is the best storyteller.

This book is worse than that (This book is worse than that).

The film is the worst I have ever seen (This film is the worst I have ever seen).

So, good has better (better) and (best) the best comparative and superlatives. And for bad - worse (worse) and the worst (worst).

Conclusion

So, we examined how to form degrees for different assessment words, exceptions, as well as comparative and superlative degrees of good (good) and bad (bad).

For short graded words, we use the endings er for comparative and est for superlative (do not forget to put the before the second case). For long adjectives of three syllables and more, use the words before the word more / less (more / less) and the most (most). Exceptions, such as much / many, old, far little, you just need to remember, there are not so many.

Better - comparative degree of good, excellent - best (or the best will be more correct). As you recall, bad: worse is comparative, worst (the worst) is excellent.

Do not be afraid to learn English, look for information in books and on the Internet to better understand the rules.
