Comparative & Superlative

Today's lesson

Adjective with -ing

Adjective with -ed

Some participles (like 'bored' or 'boring') can be used as adjectives. These are used in a slightly different way from normal adjectives. We usually use the past participle (ending in -ed) to talk about how someone feels

Adjectives with Suffix

An adjective is a word that describes a noun, and a suffix is a word ending that alters the usage of a word. Certain suffixes, when added to the ends of nouns or verbs, can transform them into adjectives. The new adjective will have some of the meaning of the original word, but that meaning will be used to describe a noun rather than function as a noun or verb itself.

Example: poison (noun) + ous (adjective suffix) = poisonous (adjective)

Adjectives with preposition

There are many cases in which adjectives are combined with prepositions – but there is no rule stating when to use which combination. As you read and listen to more English, you will become more and more familiar with how these adjective-prepositions combinations are used.

Superlative adjectives are used to describe an object which is at the upper or lower limit of a quality (the tallest, the smallest, the fastest, the highest). They are used in sentences where a subject is compared to a group of objects.

Noun (subject) + verb + the + superlative adjective + noun (object).

Superlative Adjectives

Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between the two objects they modify (larger, smaller, faster, higher). They are used in sentences where two nouns are compared, in this pattern:

Noun (subject) + verb + comparative adjective + than + noun (object).
