Comparative and Superlative Worksheets as Lesson Plans

When you describe the differences between two nouns, you most likely will use comparative and superlative adjectives.

Comparative adjectives contrast differences often in this way: Subject + verb + comparative adjective (often -er) + than + noun. For example, he walks faster than his brother.

And superlative adjectives are structured this way: Subject + verb + superlative adjective (often with -est). For example, she jumps the highest.

Overall, comparatives often add -ER and superlatives add -EST to adjectives.
