Write in the correct form of the adjective in brackets (adjective or adverb, comparative or superlative).



Many comparatives are formed by adding "er" to the adjective:

Many adverbs are formed by adding "ly" to the adjective:

 

e.g. "clear": comparative = "clearer", superlative = "clearest"

 

Many adverbs are formed by adding "ly" to the adjective:

Comparatives and superlatives are usually constructed with "more" and "most:

e.g. "clearly" comparative= more clearly, superlative = most clearly

 

 

A notable exception: Adj = Good, Adv = Well

Comparatives are: Better & Best (for both)

For example:

It's a good car. I drive well. My car is better than yours. I drive better than you. Whose car is best? Who drives best?

 

Notice that to form adjectives from adjectives ending in "y" you usually add "ily"
