Comparative
Comparative is the name for the grammar used when comparing
TWO

THINGS
The two basic ways to compare are using
- as .. as
- than
Examples of each are shown as follows:

Слайд 3

As (adjective)as (the adjective does NOT change)
She's twice as old as

her sister.
I'm almost as good in maths as in science.
This book is not as exciting as the last one.
The cafeteria is not as crowded as usual.
Russian is not quite as difficult as Chinese.

Слайд 4

than (some changes are necessary, depending on the number of

syllables the adjective has)

This computer is better than that one.
It's much colder today than it was yesterday.
Our car is bigger than your car.
This grammar topic is easier than most others.
I find science more difficult than mathematics

Слайд 5

1-syllable adjectives: add -er to the adjective
My sister is much taller

than me.
It's colder today than it was yesterday.
Note: If the word ends:
consonant-vowel-consonant,
then the last consonant is usually doubled in the comparative. Examples: big-bigger, fat-fatter, hot-hotter.

Слайд 6

Note: The comparative of some shorter 2-syllable adjectives can be formed

with -er. Examples:
simple-simpler
clever-cleverer
narrow-narrower
To be sure which comparative method to use, you will need to consult a good dictionary.

Слайд 7

Other 2-syllable adjectives: use “more” with the unchanged adjective .
The shops

are always more crowded just before Christmas.
Is there anything more boring than watching a bad movie?
My sister is more careful with her writing than I am with mine.

Слайд 8

Adjectives with 3 or more syllables: use more with the unchanged

adjective

Russian grammar is more difficult than English grammar.
My sister is much more intelligent than me.
I find maths lessons more enjoyable than science lessons.

Слайд 9

SUPERLATIVES
In the superlative you talk about one thing only and how

it is the best, worst, in a group.
You do not compare two things,
compare more than two.
The following guidelines apply to the superlative:

Слайд 10

1-syllable adjectives: add -est to the adjective (plus the)
My sister

is the tallest in our family.
Yesterday was the coldest day of the year so far.
Note: If the word ends: consonant-vowel-consonant, then the last consonant is usually doubled in the superlative. Examples: big-biggest, fat-fattest, hot-hottest.

Слайд 11

2-syllable adjectives ending in –y : change the -y to -iest

(plus the)

The richest people are not always the happiest.
Which do you think is the easiest language to learn?
Beware: Do not confuse adjectives and adverbs. 2-syllable adverbs ending in -y form their superlative with the words the most. Example: Of all the people I know my father drives the most quickly (quickliest).

Слайд 12

Other 2-syllable adjectives: use the most with the unchanged adjective
My

sister is the most careful person I know.
Note: The superlative of some shorter 2-syllable adjectives can be formed with -est. Examples: simple-simplest, clever-cleverest, narrow-narrowest. To be sure which superlative method to use, you will need to consult a good dictionary.

Слайд 13

Adjectives with 3 or more syllables: use the most with the

unchanged adjective

Some people think that Russian is the most difficult language.
Albert Einstein was the most intelligent person in history.
My most enjoyable class is English.
You are the most irritating person I have ever met!
