Hi class!
As you can see in the title name -ed and -ing adjectives form their comparative -and also superlative form by adding "more and most" regardless the number of pronounced syllables.
Can you help me decide if these sentences on the use of comparative structures is true or false? See the examples below to help you decide.
One- syllable adjectives add -er and -est to form the compartative and the superlative.
The number of syllables depends on the spelling, not the pronunciation.
Some common adjectives of quality and quantifiers have irregular comparative and superlative forms.
When two adjectives are compared more is used.
When the first part of a compound adjective is another adjective or an adverb, this first element is used to form the comparative and the superlative.
The comparatives and superlatives of compound adjectives are usually formed by putting more, most in front of the adjective.
Past participle adjectives require more and most.
Two or more syllable adjectives form their comparative and superlative forms by...
