 Adjectives

Adjectives form for 1 or 2 syllables (Más que/ El-la más…)

Exceptions

They can
also use
“More/The most”
ER EST

Dazzling – Peaceful – Crowded – Boring.

These adjectives do not follow the rule of er/est,

because their end in “ing – ed – ful”

Amazing – Attractive – Interesting – Beautiful

Old-fashioned – Polluted – Overpopulated – Expensive

These adjectives do not follow the rule of er/est,

because they have more than 2 syllables.
 I. Look at the following sentences and choose the proper form to
change the adjectives depending on whether they are
Comparative or Superlative statements. Once a sentence is
completed, indicate in the gap below it if the statement is
Comparative or Superlative. (Observa las siguientes oraciones y elige la forma
apropiada para cambiar los adjetivos dependiendo si las oraciones son Comparativas o
Superlativas. Una vez que una oración esté completa, indica en la línea debajo de esta si
el enunciado es Comparative o Superlative)

the sentence does not have any mistake, there is no need to fill
the gap.
