ENGLISH 8

QW:  Most regular adjectives like smart can be modified by adding –er (smarter) or –est (smartest), depending on the degree of the comparison. Unmodified adjectives are in the positive degree, adjectives with the –er ending are in the comparative degree. Adjectives with the –est ending are in the superlative  degree.

For example: Many late-night comedians are funny (positive degree.) Conan is funnier (comparative) than Letterman, but Jon Stewart is the funniest (superlative) of them all.

       Write a paragraph comparing members of your family. Use comparative and superlative forms of all the following adjectives, as well as any others that pop into your head: pretty, kind, smart, mean, old.
