We use the adjectives to

describe nouns

Tall - shortMarried - Single

Old - young

Old - new

Fat - slim

Loud / noisy – quiet

Difficult - easy

Rich - poor

Expensive - cheap

Pretty - ugly

The adjectives have three degrees of comparison: the positive, comparative and the superlative one. Example: Math is as difficult as English. equallity

My mom is taller than tim comparative Dad is the tallest in the family superlative

For the adjectives of a syllable, the comparative one forms adding - er, and the superlative one adding - est.

Example: bright brighter brightestwarm warmer warmest

 If an adjective finishes in - and, it is only added - r to form the comaprativo and - est for the superlative one.

Example:ripe riper ripestpolite politer politest free freer freest

If the adjective only has a syllable, with a single short vowel, and it finishes with a consonant, the last consonant ends before adding - er and - est. Example: big bigger biggest

If the adjective only has a syllable, with a single short vowel, and it finishes with a consonant, the last consonant ends before adding - er and - est. Example: big bigger biggest

If the adjective has two syllables and finishes in y, y it changes to i before adding - er and - est.

Example:angry angrier angriestsunny sunnier sunniest

But it must take in whatever the following adjectives from a single syllable that finish in y.

Example: dry drier driest
