Comparatives

In this activity fill in all the gaps with the comparative of the word in brackets ( ).

Short adjectives (big, small, nice etc) add "er" (bigger, smaller, nicer)

Notice the "g" in "big" is doubled (biGGer)

Long adjectives (interesting, beautiful, etc) use "more" (more interesting, more beautiful, etc)

There are some words with two syllables where both are possible: ugly (uglier, more ugly are both correct)

If the adjective ends in "y" change it to "ie" (likely, likelier)
