    Check your answers:

    1 This exam was Easier (easy)

    than the exam in May.

    ➪ Two-syllable adjectives and adverbs


    form the comparative and superlative
    form with more and most. However,
    two-syllable adjectives ending in -y
    are an exception. They form the
    comparative and superlative turning -y
    into -ier and -iest.

    2 You should drive more slowly

    (slowly) or you'll have an accident.

    ➪ We should use more and most to


    make the comparative and superlative
    forms of two-syllable adverbs (not
    adjectives) ending in -y.

    3 My new home is neaner (near)

    from work than the old one.

    Correct answer: nearer


    ➪ We add -er to make the
    comparative form of one-syllable
    adjectives.

    4 The test wasn't as di!cult

    (di!cult) as I thought.

    ➪ We can use not as + adjective + as


    as an alternative to less + adjective +
    than.

    5 This is the farthest (far) place

    I've ever travelled to.

    ➪ The comparative and superlative


    forms of far are irregular. We can say
    farther/further than, and the
    farthest/furthest (there is no
    di"erence between the two forms).

    6 You look much thinner (thin)

    than the last time I saw you.

    ➪ We add -er and -est to make the


    comparative form of one-syllable
    adjectives or adverbs. We double the
    last consonant if the adjectives or
    adverbs end in consonant-vowel-
    consonant (hotter, thinner, fatter, etc.).

    7 My new computer is a bit better

    (good) than the old one.

    ➪ The comparative and superlative


    forms of good are irregular. We
    say better than and the best.

    8 September is the busiest

    (busy) month of the year for us.

    ➪ Two-syllable adjectives and adverbs


    form the comparative and superlative
    form with more and most. However,
    two-syllable adjectives ending in -y
    are an exception. They form the
    comparative and superlative by
    turning -y into -ier and -iest.

    9 There are fewer (few) people

    today because it's been raining a lot.

    ➪ To compare quantity, we use fewer


    with countable nouns and we use less
    with uncountable nouns. Example:
    There is less noise today, because
    there are fewer students.

    10 The trickiest (tricky) part of

    the exam was the listening.

    ➪ Two-syllable adjectives ending in -y


    are an exception. They form the
    comparative and superlative turning -
    y into -ier and -iest.
