Lesson content
Read, practise, then check your understanding
Adjectives describe or classify nouns and pronouns. They can appear before a noun or after a linking verb. Short adjectives often take -er/-est; longer ones use more/most. Irregular forms include good–better–best. Comparisons need logically comparable entities.
Patterns and examples
- This is a quieter room.
- Mira is more careful than I am.
- That was the best available solution.
Notice how form and meaning work together. Read examples aloud, identify the controlling word or clause, and compare them with nearby alternatives before applying the pattern in new writing.
Practice sentences
- Form the comparative and superlative of happy, useful, and bad.
- Repair: Her salary is higher than Priya.
After answering, explain the rule in your own words and create one original sentence using the same structure.
