Quick and Handy Grammar Review Adjectives:
Descriptive, Comparative, Superlative, and Equative Forms
Adjectives have four forms. The descriptive form is used to describe one noun or pronoun. Remember that adjectives are
placed either immediately before the noun or after a form of the verb to be
The excited travelers visited a beautiful park.
The suntanned lifeguard protected the young swimmers.
The Australian woman was tall and slender.
It is dangerous to climb a mountain in the winter.
The comparative form is used to compare two nouns or pronouns. For one-syllable adjectives and for two-
syllable adjectives that end in y, adder. (Change the y to i and add er: [happy happier]). For one-syllable
adjectives that end in consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC), double the consonant and add er [big bigger]. For
adjectives that end in e, just add an r to form the comparative [fine finer]. For longer adjectives (two syllables
or more), use more + adjective. The adjectives are followed by than in the comparative form.
Leyla is shorter than her sister.
Claudio is happier than his manager.
Jacks car is bigger than mine.
Helene is more optimistic than Nancy.
The superlative form of the adjective is used to compare at least three nouns or pronouns. For short adjectives,
add the + est. For longer adjectives (more than two syllables), use the + most + adjective. The adjectives are
usually followed by the pronoun in.
Ruta is the youngest engineer in the firm.
Ronnie is the strongest player in the league.
Giovanna is the most intelligent student in the class.
That pizza is the tastiest in town. [tasty: change the y to i and add est]

The equative form and the non-equative form are used to express equality or inequality. Use as + adjective + as
or not as + adjective + as to create this form.
Martin is as fast as Juan.
Jean-Claude is as thin as his father.
Reba is not as tall as Angela.
Abu Dabi is not as crowded as Seoul.
