Adjectives

Docente: Snia Gonalves

Ano Letivo 2015/2016

Module 1: The Professional World and
Me

Adjectives with one syllable

Usually if an adjective has only one syllable, we add 'er' to make the comparative form.
We add 'est' to make the superlative form.

clean cleaner / cleanest

cold colder / coldest

small smaller / smallest

young younger / youngest

tall taller / tallest

There are some spelling changes. If there is one vowel followed by one consonant at the
end of the adjective, we often double the consonant.

wet wetter / wettest

big bigger / biggest

hot hotter / hottest

thin thinner / thinnest

If the adjective ends in 'y', this often changes to 'i'.

dry drier / driest

If the adjective ends in 'e', we don't add another 'e', just 'r'.

nice nicer / nicest

large larger / largest

Even when the adjective has only one syllable, it's still not wrong to use 'more' or
'most'. It's possible to say 'more wet' or 'most tall'. This isn't incorrect.
There are a few adjectives that we have to use 'more' or 'most' with, even though they
only have one syllable. We CAN'T add 'er' or 'est'.

fun more fun / most fun (NOT funner / funnest)

real more real / most real (NOT realer / realest)

Docente: Snia Gonalves

Ano Letivo 2015/2016

Module 1: The Professional World and
Me

right more right / most right (NOT righter / rightest)

wrong more wrong / most wrong (NOT wronger / wrongest)

Adjectives with two syllables

For adjectives with two syllables we generally use 'more' or 'most'.

careful more careful / most careful

bored more bored / most bored

But some two syllable adjectives can take 'er' or 'est'. It's also fine to use 'more' (for the
comparative) or 'most' (for the superlative).

clever cleverer / cleverest

simple simpler / simplest

narrow narrower / narrowest

quiet quieter / quietest

Adjectives with two syllables that end in 'y' usually can add 'er' or 'est' (y generally
changes to i). It's also fine to use 'more' or 'most'.

dirty dirtier / dirtiest

pretty prettier / prettiest

happy happier / happiest

ugly uglier / ugliest

Adjectives with more than two syllables

Adjectives with more than two syllables can only make their comparative by using
'more' and their superlative by using 'most'.

beautiful more beautiful / most beautiful

intelligent more intelligent / most intelligent

interesting more interesting / most interesting

Docente: Snia Gonalves
