ACT PREP PRACTICE (Comparative and Superlative Adjectives and Adverbs)--March 6, 2017

Adjectives and adverbs can show comparisons. Use the comparative form to compare two items. Use the superlative form to compare more than two items.

Comparative Form (Two Items)

The ending -er and the words "more" and "less" signal the comparative form. The comparative form includes words and phrases such as "warmer," "colder," "safer," "higher," "less industrious," and "more creative."

Superlative Form (More Than Two Items)

If you can't tell how many items there are, use the superlative form. The ending -est and the words "most" and "least" signal the superlative form. The superlative form includes words and phrases such as "happiest," "youngest," "oldest," "highest," "least tired," and "most interesting."

Read each sentence carefully. Complete each sentence with the correct form of the adverb that is in parentheses.

Submit the activity at the end of the exercise. Your daily scores will be recorded and averaged at the end of each week for one weekly grade.
