SLP TIPS

• Comparatives and superlatives are adjectives (words that describe nouns) or adverbs (words that describe verbs or adjectives).

• Comparatives are used to compare 2 things.

• Usually –er or –ier are added to the end of the comparative (e.g. bigger).

• Superlatives are used to compare 3 or more things and describe the degree or quantity of something.

• Usually, -est or –iest are added to the end of the superlative (e.g. biggest). Some start with the word “most” or “least” (e.g. most expensive).
