Use adjectives with more and most

Key Notes :

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. When to Use “More” and “Most”:

  • We use more and most with adjectives to compare two or more nouns.
  • More is used for comparative sentences when comparing two things.
  • Most is used for superlative sentences when comparing three or more things.

3. Using “More”:

  • Use more before adjectives with two or more syllables to compare two nouns.
  • Example:
    • This book is more interesting than that one.
    • (Here, “interesting” has three syllables.)
  • Examples of Adjectives with More:
  • beautiful → more beautiful
  • exciting → more exciting
  • careful → more careful

4. Using “Most”:

  • Use most before adjectives with two or more syllables to show that something has the highest quality among three or more nouns.
  • Example:
    • She is the most talented singer in the group.
    • (Here, “talented” has three syllables.)
  • Examples of Adjectives with Most:
  • wonderful → most wonderful
  • delicious → most delicious
  • expensive → most expensive

5. Remember the Rules:

  • More is for comparing two things with two or more syllables.
  • Most is for showing the highest quality among three or more things with two or more syllables.
  • For adjectives with one syllable, use -er and -est instead of more and most.
  • Example:
    • tall → taller (comparative)
    • tall → tallest (superlative)

6. Examples:

  • More:
  • This puzzle is more challenging than the last one.
  • Most:
  • Of all the kids, she is the most skilled at soccer.
