Comparative and Superlative Adjectives

PLEASE CLICK THE PICTURE TO ZOOM IN.

N.B.
Adjectives ending with a vowel and a consonant double the consonant

for example : big - bigger- the biggest,
except when the consonant is 'w' or 'y'
for example : new - newer - the newest.
Use Comparative adjectives are used to compare two things or people to each other.

Superlative adjectives are used to compare one member of a group to the whole group.

Ex : The Amazon river is longer than the Mississippi.
The Nile is the longest river in the world.
