Grammar Adjectives : are describing words . They come : 1. before nouns to describe them . e.g : It's a beautiful dress . 2. after verbs :be , look , feel ,smell , taste , sound e.g : Monkeys are funny . 3. after nouns that show measurements . E.g : Sam is ten years old . - If two people / things are similar (equal ) in a certain adjective , we use as as to express this case , as follows . as + adjective + as Ex : Ahmed weighs 30 kgs .Mona weighs 30 kgs too Ahmed is as fat as Mona Negative : Tilly isn't as tall as Nina . It means that : Nina is taller than Tilly. Comparison of adjectives To compare two things / people that share the same adjective ,we use the comparative form of adjective . It's formed as follows : 1. Short adjectives : Add " er " at the end of the adjective followed by the word " than " Adjective + er + than Ex : Meg is faster than her sister . Notice that :

a- If the adjective ends in " e " , we only add "r "

large nice safe larger than nicer than safer than

into " ier " easy heavy pretty

b- If the adjective ends in " a " consonant followed by " y " , we change " y "
easier than heavier than prettier than
32

hot big fat

c- If the adjective ends in a vowel , followed by a consonant , we double the last letter , then add " er "
hotter than bigger than fatter than

But of course there are some exceptions :

deep new slow deeper than newer than slower than

d- Some adjectives are irregular , they are changed completely ;

good better than bad worse than far farther than 2. Long adjectives : Comparative form of long adjectives are formed by putting "more " before the adjective and " than " after the adjective . more + adjective + than Ex : Lio
