1 What are comparative adjectives? Take a look at these sentences: Martin is old. He s older than his sister. Neptune is big. It s bigger than Earth. Apple iphones are expensive. They re more expensive than most other phones. Old, big and expensive are adjectives. Older, bigger and more expensive are their comparative forms. What are superlative adjectives? For examples of superlative forms, let s look at these sentences: Jack is the oldest person in the village. Jupiter is the biggest planet in our solar system. The Beatles are probably the most popular band of all time. The oldest, the biggest and the most popular are superlative forms. English grammar and exercises 1.
