The problem with some
of the comparative and superlative sentences on the TOEFL is that the
comparative or superlative is formed incorrectly. You should therefore
understand how to form the comparative and superlative to answer such question
correctly.
The comparative is
formed with either -er or more and than. In the comparative, -er
is used with short adjectives such as tall,
and more is used with longer
adjectives such as beautiful .
Bob is taller than
Ron.
Sally is more
beautiful than Sharon.
The superlative is
formed with the, either -est or most, and sometimes in or of. In the
superlative, -est is used with short
adjectives such as tall, and most is used with longer adjectives such
as beautiful.
Bob is the tallest
man in the room.
Sally is the most
beautiful of all the women at the party.
The fastest
runner wins the race. (no in or of)
