Comparatives and superlatives exercises

In short

Test yourself on comparatives and superlatives with 12 interactive questions. Every answer comes with an explanation — and if you get one wrong, the AI tutor can explain exactly why your answer didn't work.

Question 1 of 12

Choose the correct comparative.

Shaky on the rule?

Guessing gets you through a quiz; understanding gets you through the exam. Read the full Comparatives and superlatives lesson — Comparatives (bigger, more interesting) compare two things; superlatives (the biggest, the most interesting) single out one from a group of three or more. Short adjectives add -er/-est, longer adjectives use more/most, and a few — good/better/best, bad/worse/worst — are irregular. Never combine -er/-est with more/most in the same word.
