Unit 3: Adding the suffixes -er or -est (2)

When we compare two things we can add -er to adjectives:

I am tall, but you are taller.

You are quick, but he is quicker.

When we compare more than two things, we can add -est to adjectives:

I am tall, he is taller, but she is the tallest.

You are quick, she is quicker, but he is the quickest.

Of course you know that when we add -er or -est, we might need to change the root word.

Let’s say our suffix rhyme together:

Is there a letter I need to swap?

Is there a letter to double or drop?

Let's find out. For some adjectives we need to swap a letter before we add -er or -est.

If a word ends in y, swap the y for an i before adding -er or -est.

Let’s watch what happens to our adjectives when we follow the rule:    

jolly

jollier

jolliest

tricky

trickier

trickiest

silly

sillier

silliest

lucky

luckier

luckiest

Here are some more words ending in y.

Unit 2: Adding the suffixes -er or -est (1)

When we compare two things we can add -er to adjectives:

When we compare more than two things, we can add -est to adjectives:

I am cold, he is colder, but she is the coldest.

She is slow, he is slower, but I am the slowest.

There are lots of root words that do not have to be changed before we add -er and -est:

tall                hard

taller             harder

tallest           hardest

fast               warm

faster            warmer

fastest          warmest

Sometimes when we add -er or -est, we might need to change the root word.

Let’s say our suffix rhyme together:

If a word ends in e we must drop the e before adding -er or -est.
