Comparatives and Superlatives 作者: Mind Map: Comparatives and Superlatives

1. Comparatives

1.1. We use it when comparing two people or things with a disagreement.

1.1.1. Short adjectives

1.1.1.1. Form: (Adj+er) + than

1.1.1.2. If the penultimate letter is a vowel, we double the last letter and we add (er). Examples: hotter, bigger.

1.1.1.3. If the adjective ends with y, we replace it with i and add er. Example: funnier.

1.1.1.4. If the adjective ends with (e), we suffice to add (r). Example: cuter.

1.1.1.5. If the adjective ends with a valid letter preceded by two vowel letters, then we do not double the last letter. Example: greater.

1.1.2. Long adjectives

1.1.2.1. Form: more/less + adj + than

1.1.2.2. If the adjective consists of two or more syllables, precede it with (more). Example: more beautiful.

1.1.2.3. Some adjectives have two formulas for comparison. Example: narrow => narrower, more narrow.

1.1.3. Irrgular

1.1.3.1. Some adjectives change completely in comparison. Examples: good => better, bad => worse.

2. Superlatives

2.1. We use it to favor a person or thing over a group of people or things.

2.1.1. Short adjectives

2.1.1.1. Form: the + (adjective+est)

2.1.1.2. If the penultimate letter is a vowel, we double the last letter and we add (est). Examples: hottest, biggest.

2.1.1.3. If the adjective ends with (e), we just add (st). Example: cutest.

2.1.1.4. If the adjective ends with y, we replace it with i and add est. Example: funniest.

2.1.1.5. ‏If the adjective ends with a valid letter ‏preceded by two vowel letters, then ‏we do not double the last letter. Example: greatest.
