The comparative form of "nothing" is "less than nothing," while the superlative form is "least of all."
Friendlier or more friendly are the comparatives, and friendliest or most friendly are the superlatives.
Comparatives and superlatives are used to compare differences between two or more things. Comparatives help to highlight how one item stands in relation to another, often using "-er" or "more" (e.g., taller, more beautiful). Superlatives express the highest degree of a quality within a group, typically using "-est" or "most" (e.g., tallest, most beautiful). This linguistic structure allows for clearer communication and understanding of relative qualities.
As a noun or a verb, play does not have a comparative or superlative form. Comparatives and superlatives are used for adjectives and adverbs.
Adverbs make comparatives and superlatives with more and most. You'd say more quickly and most quickly.
Comparatives and superlatives are used to show degrees of adjectives and adverbs. Hope is neither of these parts of speech and does not have comparative or superlative forms.
Comparatives end in -er (e.g. better, bigger, faster, stronger, taller, etc.) and superlatives end in -est, generally. (e.g. best, biggest, fastest, strongest, tallest, etc.) Comparatives mean something is better, bigger, whatever-er than something else. Superlatives mean something is bigger, better, whatever-er than EVERYTHING else involved. So "Susan is faster than John" is comparative, and "Alex is the fastest of his friends" is a superlative.
Generally, adjectives with three or more syllables form their comparatives and superlatives using "more" and "most," such as "more beautiful" and "most interesting." In contrast, shorter adjectives, typically one or two syllables, use suffixes like "-er" and "-est," such as "taller" and "fastest." However, some two-syllable adjectives can also use "more" and "most," like "more careful" and "most common." Ultimately, the choice depends on the adjective's syllable count and common usage.
Because superlatives are the best.
The comparative form of sweet is sweeter, and the superlative form of sweet is sweetest.
The irregular form of "good" is "better" for the comparative degree and "best" for the superlative degree. Unlike regular adjectives that form comparatives and superlatives by adding "-er" or "-est," "good" changes its form entirely. This makes it an example of an irregular adjective in English.
Comparatives are formed in what two ways?
-er and -est are used to form comparatives and superlatives for one-syllable adjectives (e.g., fast, faster, fastest). -ier and -iest are used for two-syllable adjectives ending in -y (e.g., happy, happier, happiest).
