Comparative Adjectives
Examples:
•The waves are higher than yesterday.
•This year, many of the flood victims are more
prepared to face the disaster than last year.
Superlative adjectives compare more
than two nouns. We usually add ‘the –
est’ to the adjective. For words that we
cannot change , we add ‘the most’ to
the adjective.
