1. What are Adjectives?

• Adjectives are words that describe nouns (people, places, things, or animals).
• They help us understand more about a noun by telling us what kind, how many, or which one.

2. Comparing Adjectives:

• Adjectives can be used to compare two or more nouns.
• There are three forms of adjectives when we compare:

1. Positive: The basic form of the adjective (e.g., big).
2. Comparative: Used to compare two nouns (e.g., bigger).
3. Superlative: Used to compare three or more nouns (e.g., biggest).

3. Spelling Rules for Comparative and Superlative Adjectives:

• For one-syllable adjectives:
• Add -er for the comparative form.
  • Example: tall → taller
• Add -est for the superlative form.
  • Example: tall → tallest
• **For adjectives ending in *-y*:
• Change the y to i and add -er or -est.
  • Example: happy → happier, happiest
• For adjectives with two syllables:
• Some can use -er and -est, but others use more and most.
  • Example:
  • -er/-est: simple → simpler, simplest
  • more/most: beautiful → more beautiful, most beautiful
• For adjectives with three or more syllables:
• Use more for the comparative and most for the superlative.
