What to Focus On

  • Opinion adjectives (beautiful, ugly, nice) come first as they express personal views
  • Physical characteristics follow in order: size, age, shape, color
  • Origin indicates where something comes from (geographical location)

  • Positive degree: simple form without comparison (tall, beautiful, good)
  • Comparative degree: compares two items (taller, more beautiful, better)
  • Superlative degree: compares three or more (tallest, most beautiful, best)

  • One syllable: add -er/-est (big → bigger → biggest)
  • Two syllables ending in -y: change y to i, add -er/-est (happy → happier → happiest)
  • Two or more syllables: use more/most (careful → more careful → most careful)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All adjectives can be arranged in any order as long as they sound natural

Comparative degree always requires adding -er to any adjective

'Elder' and 'older' can be used interchangeably for any comparison
