• 00:00:00 Comparatives and superlatives are used to compare people, places, or things. A comparative compares two things, in this case a dog and an elephant. A superlative compares one thing to all the others in the same group. When an adjective has one syllable, such as fast or young, we put ER at the end of the adjective to make it a comparative. The adjective FAST has one syllable so we just add ER to the end of it. Faster is the comparative of the adjective YOUNG and the superlative of the adjective BIG. The adjective nice becomes NICER, the adjective strange becomes STRANGER, and the adjective Dean becomes THE NICEST. Strange becomes THE STRANGEST.
• 00:05:00 The superlative, BIGGEST, is created by adding two Gs to the end of the word BIG. The comparative, BIGGEST, is created by adding MORE before the adjective with two or more syllables. There are three days in the week that are described as hot, with Monday being the hottest. The superlative is also created by adding THE MOST before the adjective.
• 00:10:00 In this video, the English grammar lesson discusses the difference between superlative adjectives and comparative adjectives. Superlative adjectives (such as "the worst") are used to describe something that is very bad, whereas comparative adjectives (such as "better") are used to describe something that is not as bad. There are more exceptions to this rule, such as "far" and "little," but these will be covered in another video.
