Today's lesson:
- book p 79: grammar "comparison of adjectives"
- book p 80: listening & speaking "The most valuable ..."
The comparative of adjectives is formed in the following way:
Short adjectives (1 syllable):
ADJECTIVE + er / est
cheap - cheaper - cheapest
nice - nicer - nicest
Long adjectives (3 or more syllables):
more / most + ADJECTIVE
beau|ti|ful - more beautiful - most beautiful
ex|pen|sive - more expensive - most expensive
Special case - adjectives with 2 syllables:
adjectives ending in "y", "le", "ow", "er" > short adjectives
happy - happier - happiest
gentle - gentler - gentlest
shallow - shallower - shallowest
clever - cleverer - cleverest
all other endings > long adjectives
care|ful - more careful - most careful
use|less - more useless - most useless
Irregular comparison:
good - better - best
bad - worse - worst
