00:00:05,490 --> 00:00:15,910
Comparatives and superlatives. Today we are going to talk about who to compare things with comparatives and superlatives.

2
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:29,780
Comparative and superlatives. When we talk about the adjectives that we are going to compare, there are a number of rules that we have to follow.

3
00:00:30,399 --> 00:00:32,939
Here we have a table that is going to help us.

4
00:00:41,689 --> 00:00:43,229
Comparative and superlatives.

5
00:00:43,229 --> 00:00:48,229
Adjective, comparative adjective, superlative adjective.

6
00:00:48,229 --> 00:00:51,229
Adjective with one syllable.

7
00:00:51,229 --> 00:00:53,229
We have fat.

8
00:00:53,229 --> 00:00:59,229
When we put fat in comparative, we have to double the T and add ER, fatter.

9
00:00:59,229 --> 00:01:07,230
And in superlative, we have to add EST and D before the superlative.

10
00:01:07,230 --> 00:01:09,230
D, fatter.

11
00:01:09,230 --> 00:01:18,450
When we have adjectives with two syllables ending in Y, we have to change the Y to an I and add ER.

12
00:01:19,049 --> 00:01:27,150
And in the superlative, we have to add EST and add DE before the superlative, the HATES.

13
00:01:27,150 --> 00:01:38,890
When we have adjectives with two syllables ending in ER, we also have to add ER, LEVERED, and in the superlative, EST.

14
00:01:39,230 --> 00:01:50,430
And in adjectives with two syllables ending in "-le", we have to only add "-r", simple.

15
00:01:50,430 --> 00:01:56,230
And in the superlative, "-st", "-de", simple.

16
00:01:56,230 --> 00:02:03,230
When we have adjectives with two syllables ending in "-o", like narrow, we have to add

17
00:02:03,230 --> 00:02:08,229
"-er", narrower, and "-est", and "-de", before the superlative, then a lower.

18
00:02:08,229 --> 00:02:30,080
Adjectives with two or more syllables. When we have adjectives with two or more syllables, we have to add more in front of an adjective to compare and most of the superlatives will be the same.

19
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:36,080
Follow a rule that we had seen a few minutes ago.

20
00:02:36,080 --> 00:03:03,629
Irregular adjectives. Here we have three types of irregular adjectives. Bad that means worse in comparative and the worst in superlative. Good, better in comparative and the best in superlative. And little that becomes less in comparative and the least in superlative.

21
00:03:03,629 --> 00:03:14,039
See, you are better than me at swimming or you are better than me at swimming.

22
00:03:16,490 --> 00:03:18,530
Bye, thank you for listening.
