Answer from: Jasten

Positive Comparative Superlative

Little Less Least

Bad Worse Worst

Good Better Best

Far Further / Farther Furthest / Farthest

Explanation:

Comparative is used in linguistics to compare differences between two objects, animal or people, creating modifications in certain adjectives. For example: That cellphone is smaller than the one I lost; Chris is taller than Tyler; Turtles are slower than rabbits.

The superlative of adjectives is used to indicate that one of the objects, animals or people compared, has a characteristic or quality to a greater extent that the others. For example: That blondie girl is the nicest woman I’ve ever met; I feel the happiest person in the world.

English has specific and unbreakable rules that make learning easier compared to other languages in the world. To make superlative or comparative it is necessary to count the number of syllables and follow the rule. However, there are some exceptions to the rule, for example with adjectives like little, good, bad or far.

Read this excerpt from i never had it made. "it's all that ought to count," he replied. "but it isn't. maybe one of these days it will be all that counts. that is one of the reasons i've got you here, robinson. if you're a good enough man, we can make this a start in the right direction. but let me tell you, it's going to take an awful lot of courage." he was back to the crossroads question that made me start to get angry minutes earlier. he asked it slowly and with great care. "have you got the guts to play the game no matter what happens? " "i think i can play the game, mr. rickey," i said. the next few minutes were tough. branch rickey had to make absolutely sure that i knew what i would face. beanballs would be thrown at me. i would be called the kind of names which would hurt and infuriate any man. i would be physically attacked. could i take all of this and control my temper, remain steadfastly loyal to our ultimate aim? which is the central idea of this excerpt?
