Comparative Adjectives compare one person or thing with another and enable us to say whether a person or thing has more or less of a particular quality. On the other hand, Superlative Adjectives describe one person or thing as having more of a quality than all other people or things in a group. Both Comparatives and Superlatives Adjectives can be used to highlight SUPERIORITY, as their principles and rules of formation may differ typically based on the type of adjectives, may it be short or long. That being said, check (T) for TRUE and (F) for FALSE, considering the information provided on Comparatives and Superlatives Adjectives formation to highlight SUPERIORITY, then check the correct answer.
( ) The comparative of short adjectives such as “pretty, happy and heavy” are “prettyer than, happyer than and heavyer than”, for the vowel “y” is preceded by another consonant.
( ) The comparative of long adjectives such as “beautiful, interesting and expensive” are “beautifuler than, interestinger than and expensiver than”, as the suffix “ER” is considered to be the general rule for those type of adjectives.
( ) The comparative of short adjectives such as “grey, fey and stray” are “greier than, feier than and straier than”, for the vowel “y” is preceded by another vowel.
( ) The comparative of Latin origin adjectives such as “basic, famous and competent” are “more basic than, more famous than and more competent than”, for using “more” before adjectives like those is considered to be the most adequate rule to use.
( ) The comparative of short adjectives such as “nice, wise and late” are “nicer than, wiser than and later than”, for they are all ending in “E”, and adding only the suffix “R” at the end of those type of adjectives is the correct rule to use.
( ) The superlative of short adjectives such as “fat, thin and big” are “the fatter, the thinner and the bigger”, for they all are ending in “C-V-C” (consonant-vowel-consonant).
( ) The superlative of irregular adjectives such as “good, bad and far” are “the goodest, the baddest and the farrest”, for adding the suffix “EST” at the end of those type of adjectives is considered to be the most appropriate rule to use.
( ) The superlative of long adjectives such as “pleasant, intelligent and successful” are “the most pleasant, the most intelligent and the most successful”, for adding “most” before those types of adjectives, instead of suffixes such as “ST, EST or IEST”, is the correct rule to use.
( ) The superlative of short adjectives such as “much, some and many” is “the most”, not because those adjectives are necessarily short, but because they are all irregular and share at certain point and extent the same semantics – meaning.
( ) If it is correct to say adjectives such as “bad, good and far” are irregular, it is also correct to say that the comparative of these adjectives are “worse than, better than and farther than” in this respective order.
