Key Topics to Revise

1

Understanding Comparisons

  • We use comparisons to show how two things are different in size, height, age, danger, etc.
  • Comparisons are made using special forms of adjectives like 'bigger', 'taller', 'younger', or 'more dangerous'.
  • The word 'than' is often used after the comparison word.
2

Rules for Making Comparisons

  • For one-syllable adjectives, add -er (e.g., big → bigger, fast → faster).
  • For two-syllable adjectives ending in 'y', change 'y' to 'i' and add -er (e.g., happy → happier, heavy → heavier).
  • For adjectives with two or more syllables, use 'more' before the word (e.g., careful → more careful, dangerous → more dangerous).
