Last Rule and Tips
Adjectives have inflections. That is, adjectives change in spelling according to how they are used in a sentence.
Adjectives have three forms: positive, comparative, and superlative.
The simplest form of the adjective is its positive form. When two objects or persons are being compared, the comparative form of the adjective is used. When three or more things are being compared, we use the adjective's superlative form.
Examples:
brave, braver, bravest
happy, happier, happiest
Note: Words of more than two syllables form the comparative with more and most:
beautiful, more beautiful, most beautiful.
resonant, more resonant, most resonate
Last few reminders
- Don't split infinitives (incorrect: "to slowly walk" correct "to walk slowly"
- Don't use slang (chirp) or clichés (cold as ice)
- Either goes with or; neither goes with nor
- When referring to a country, don't use "they"
Example: The US is the richest country in the world. They have the highest GNP. (It has the highest GNP.)
