The regular way to make comparative/superlative adjectives is to add
-er/-est or to use
more/most.
A small number of adjectives, however, are irregular and some of these
can be regular or irregular. The most important ones are listed here:
Adjective | Comparative | Superlative |
| Example |
good | better | the best | irregular | Tara is the best athlete in the school. |
well (healthy) | better | the best | irregular | He is still in hospital, but he is better than he was last week. |
bad | worse | the worst | irregular | You are the worst driver I have ever known. |
far | further | the furthest | irregular | My house is the furthest one. |
far | farther | the farthest | regular | My house is the farther one. |
old (people in a family) | elder | the eldest | irregular | Ram is my elder brother. |
old (general use) | older | the oldest | regular | Your teacher is older than my teacher. |
