Adjectives in Comparative and Superlative Forms
Notes
- Some adjectives have irregular comparative and superlative forms (e.g., good, bad, far).
- Some adjectives have two forms for comparative and superlative (e.g., old: older/oldest and
elder/eldest).
- The forms farther/furthest are used for physical distances, while further/furthest are used for
abstract or figurative distances.
