Comparatives
Comparatives; er, and est
Without them I couldn't be better than you.
Suffixes are letters that can be added to the end of a word to form a new word. ER and EST are suffixes and are called Comparatives. We add these suffixes to the end of a descriptor when comparing two or more objects with the same descriptor, as in tall, taller, tallest; small, smaller, smallest.
Some quick examples:
- Tall, taller, tallest;
- Smart, smarter, smartest;
- Thin, thinner, thinest;
- Tiny, tinier, tiniest;
- Bad, worse, worst;
- Good, better, best.
