Exercise 5 – Comparatives and Superlatives
Comparatives and superlatives are different forms of verbs that strengthen the verb. A comparative is stronger than the original verb, which a superlative is the strongest form of the verb.

Eg.
Adjective = strong Comparative = stronger Superlative = strongest
Adjective = good Comparative = better Superlative = best
Adjective = bad Comparative = worse Superlative = worst

Comparatives are usually used with the word “than” after them, because they are comparing two things.

Eg. That guy is louder than me.

Superlatives usually use “the” before the superlative.
Eg. She is the loudest in the room.
Sometimes verbs don’t have comparative or superlative forms, in which case you use “more _verb_ (than)” and “(the) most _verb ”.

Eg. I am more careful than my brother.
This question is the most difficult on the test.

Complete the following sentences with the correct comparative or superlative.

1. Bola is __________ (short) than Dave.
2. Dave is __________ (tall) on the show.
3. Kung fu is __________ (difficult) than watching TV.
4. Javkhaa __________ (strong).
5. Bola’s hair is __________ (long) than the Javkhaa’s.
