Comparative and Superlative Grammar Worksheet for Class 3

You use the -er ending to compare two things and the -est ending to compare three or more things.

• Comparative (-er): Use this to compare only two items. For example, "An elephant is bigger than a lion."
• Superlative (-est): Use this when comparing three or more items to find the one with the highest quality. For example, "The whale is the biggest animal of all."

Common examples of comparative and superlative adjectives involve adding -er and -est to a base word. Here are some common adjective endings:

• Tall → Taller (comparative) → Tallest (superlative)
• Small → Smaller (comparative) → Smallest (superlative)
• Fast → Faster (comparative) → Fastest (superlative)
• Strong → Stronger (comparative) → Strongest (superlative)

Adverbs are compared either by adding -er/-est or by using the words more/most, especially for adverbs ending in -ly.

• For short adverbs like 'fast' or 'hard', we add -er and -est (e.g., fast, faster, fastest).
• For most adverbs that end in -ly, like 'quickly' or 'slowly', we use 'more' for comparative and 'most' for superlative.
• Example: He ran quickly. She ran more quickly than him. I ran the most quickly of all.
