COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES
Comparative adjectives are those that are used to make comparisons between people, animals and things. When
we compare an object, place or person to another object, we use comparative adjectives.
We can use comparative adjectives when talking about two things (not three or more things)

Rules:
Some rules you must pay attention to:
Adjectives that are used to compare two people or two things have special forms.
1. If the regular adjective has one syllable, add +er to the end to make the comparative form.
2. If the regular adjective ends in y, change the y to i before adding +er.
3. Double the consonant if you have a consonant-vowel-consonant word.
For many regular adjectives with two or more syllables, use the word more before the adjective and don't add
+er.
Often, the comparative adjective is followed by “than”.
You can see in the following chart pay attention the use of rules
SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVES
An adjective superlative degree, also called comparative excellence, expresses the feature to its fullest extent.
In general, the gradation is applicable only to adjectives, but can occur in some cases in certain nouns and
adverbs. It is a superlative adjective exaggerates the already exaggerated.
We can use superlative adjectives when talking about three or more things (not two things).
If we talk about the three planets Earth, Mars and Jupiter, we can use superlative adjectives, see the following
chart:

Long vowels
Examples comparing long and short vowels (and showing the effect of the silent 'e')
Short Vowels
The most common sound for each vowel is its “short” sound:
6
ĕ, pronounced /ɛ/ as in elephant, pen, or met,
We call these vowel sounds "short," but they are not all spoken more quickly than the "long" sounds. However,
it's important to learn to pronounce these five sounds, because each is the most common sound for its letter.
The main rules for when to use them and when to use "long" vowel sounds apply to all five of them.
Long Vowels
The alphabet sounds (when the vowel “says its name”) are called “long
vowels.”
We call them ‘long’ because we hold them slightly longer than the
short sounds.
Silent ‘E’ Rule: When a vowel and single consonant are followed by an ‘e’ (in the same syllable), the ‘e’ is almost
always silent, but it causes the preceding vowel to be long. (Examples: ate, plane, Pete, bite, nine, rope, note,
cube, flute.)
There are just a few exceptions, most involving a 've' or an 'one': above, dove (the bird), give, have, live (the
verb), love, move, prove, etc. A few others: come, done, gone, none, and one, as well as office.
Those words are common, but many more -ve, -one words, & -ice are long: cove, dive, dove (the past tense), drive,
drove, five, gave, grove, hive, knives, live (the adjective), pave, revive, save, stove, strive, survive, thrive, alone,
bone, cone, phone, stone, tone, & advice, dice, ice, nice, price, rice, etc.
Other Long Vowels: A vowel at the end of a syllable is almost always long. Examples: I, we, he, she, go, try,
potato and tomato. (Some English speakers use a short ‘a’ in the 2nd syllable, while others use a long ‘a,’ but both
‘o’s are long for everyone.)
-Igh and -ight are usually long I (and silent GH): bright, fight, high, light, might, night, right, sigh, sight, tight.
Often the first letter of the vowel combinations, especially ‘ai’, ‘ay’, ‘ea’ (sometimes-- see Digraphs, below), ‘ee’, &
‘oa,’ will be long & the second will be silent. (An old rhyme for children says “when 2 vowels go walking, the first
does the talking.”) So ’plain’ sounds exactly like ‘plane,' ‘meat’ and ‘meet’ like ‘mete,’ etc.
However, there are many exceptions. (See the link to English Vowel Digraphs, at the bottom of this page, for the
most common ones.)

These contrasts demonstrate the rules (in each column, first short, then long):
Besides the long and short sounds, there are other sounds English vowels can make.
