How are comparitive adjectives and adverbs different from superlative adjectives and adverbs?
Q. How are comparitive adjectives and adverbs different from superlative adjectives and adverbs?
Asked by Tyler R - Thu Jun 4 17:18:28 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Easy. Comparative compares two. Superlative compares three or more. To make a comparative adjective, add -er to the positive form of the adjective. Therefore: big becomes bigger. If you can't add -er, use more/less plus the positive form: handsome becomes more or less handsome. To make the superlative, add -est to the positive form. So... One is tall...he is taller than Bob...BUT John is the tallest of all three. If you can't add -est, use most/least plus the positive. SO: He's the most handsome of all. To use the comparative or superlative with adverbs, use more/less for two items and most/least for three or more: He drove more quickly than Bob. He drove less carefully than Bob. He drove the least carefully. He drove… [cont.]

A. A syllable is a sequence of sounds made in talking. A single sequence (syllable) is a sound like yes, cat, no, that, why, dog, red, or any of the shorter words with a single unit of pronunciation. Some examples of two-syllable words would be common, history, listen, wonder, yellow. Three syllable words: yesterday, fabulous, industry, opening.

A. This site will answer your question: this site will help you through a LOT of 6th grade grammar: PS and adverbs usually end in LY. To make a sentence more VIVID or PRECISE an example would be: Instead of saying "She walked to the store." you could say "She quickly walked to the store."

A. Mark is very tall (simple) the hotel was the worst (superl.) film I [have ever] seen last year. Cafe Noor is the best (superl.) restaurant in Leeds. Non-native students often speak using very bad (simple) grammar. Sue is very good (simple) at playing golf. One hundred kilos?You must be the heaviest (superlative) person in the room. You have no comparitives in the sentence. (like "heavier" "better" "taller") Comparitives usually end in -er OR have the word "more" in front. Superlatives usually end in -est, OR have "most" in front. --SIMPLE;--Comparitive;-- Superlative -tall,---taller, ---tallest -good,---better, ---best -amazing,---more amazing, ---most amazing

A. Maybe is late... but for help another people: Las joyas menos caritas. Las joyas menos caras. Los perros grandisimos I can't get it, in spanish the superlative (superlativo) do reference always to "more" never "least", the "diminutivo" do reference to "least". So, for say more expensive can be "carisimas" or "mas caras"

A. here are some long notes I cut and pasted from my study notes taken from Parrott, M. (2000) 'Grammar for English language teachers'. Long adjectives and adverbs. More and most are used before adj. and adv. when the words are long. Eg: most expensive, more expensive (than) Short adjectives and adverbs we generally teach that we add er or est to the end of shorter adjectives and adverbs, almost always if they have only one syllable. fast: He drove faster this morning. He drove the fastest today. But, sometimes we use more and most with one syllable adjectives. such as past participles: burnt, drunk, forced, lost spoiled. They are getting more and more spoiled by their aunty. also with ungradeable adjectives: dead, male,… [cont.]

Asked by Porgie - Wed Mar 22 05:36:55 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Probably in order to preserve the correct pronunciation. The letter 'Y' tends to elide with vowels which follow it. Thus the superlative of 'hardy' ('hardiest' e.g. perrennials) would be pronounced as in 'yes' or 'yeast' if spelt with a 'Y' - hardYEST.

A. The problem is that Americans only get american media with propaganda thrown in. The US government has a great degree of control over what is said. In Europe, for instance, people can tune into the news from other countries and learn about the news from other perspectives. Some Americans still believe Bush. Sad situation. They do not know what is happening out there.

Grammar - Adjectives
Q. Noting the use of adjectives, are the following phrases grammatically correct? 1. The company is one of the youngest and creative provider... 2. ... for he was the bravest, and handsome in all the land... If the 1st adjective is a superlative, does it follow that the succeeding one be in superlative form? Thanks Thanks for the quick reply, kurisutiin. I thought so too, but can you guys please give a brief explanation why those are incorrect. I know they are, but i'm having a hard time explaining it to my colleague why it should not be the case. thanks
Asked by Michell F - Thu Aug 7 06:25:55 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. yeas. both are grammatically incorrect. number 1 should be 'youngest creative provider' or 'the youngest and most creative provider' and number 2 handsome should be changed to most handsome.not handsomest. to explain it, using superlative form of adjective means you're using a degree to modify and make comparisons. since the sentence started with highest degree of comparison, the 1st adjective used in the sentence should be balanced with the following adjective/s especially if you're just referring to one kind of person/place/thing. you're making a distinction here to emphasize its superiority to others. if the second adjective did not follow the 1st one with its degree, the sentence would sound or look like awkward. again, use… [cont.]

adjective comparative superlative?
Q. I always read the stories written by the a)great b)greater c)greatest writer
Asked by fourd boys plus igirl and iboy - Thu Nov 23 00:01:05 2006 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The answer is (C), the greatest writer. In the context of the sentence you have written, to use the standard adjective "great," you would need to refer to someone, i.e. "I always read the stories of the great writer, Mark Twain." The comparative usage (greater) could potentially work grammatically, but is awkward. The only option in this case would be to use the superlative, "greatest," with the understanding that the writer has been identified in either the sentence preceding it or following it.
