Comparatives and Superlatives Worksheet

Comparatives and superlatives are used to compare people, places, things, or ideas.

• Comparatives are used to compare two things. They often end in -er (e.g., taller, bigger) or use more before the adjective (e.g., more beautiful, more interesting).
• Superlatives are used to compare three or more things and show the highest degree of a quality. They often end in -est (e.g., tallest, biggest) or use most before the adjective (e.g., most beautiful, most interesting).

• Some adjectives have irregular forms, such as good → better → best and bad → worse → worst.
