Comparatives and superlatives are forms of adjectives which organize objects by quality or quantity. Worksheets designed to practice comparatives and superlatives often show a set of objects side by side, with fill-in-the-blank labels of hierarchy (e.g. big, bigger, biggest or loud, louder, loudest). There might be a series of objects with price tags, and students must fill in a sentence such as
. "Apples are ______expensive than oranges, whichare_________pears. The price of bananas is ___________than strawberries." Other types of worksheets feature charts with a column for adjectives, a column for comparatives, and a column for superlatives, with some of the blanks filled in. For example, the adjective "good," with blanks for "better" and "best"; or the superlative "busiest," with blanks for "busier" and "busy." Such charts may be helpful memorization tools for ESL students who have not had verbal experience with the irregular forms.There are many education websites offering printable exercises and answer keys for comparatives and superlatives, ranging from easy, easier, easiest; to difficult, more difficult, most difficult.
