Exercise 2.5: Comparative and Superlative Forms of Adjectives and Adverbs

To form the comparative and superlative forms of the listed adjectives and adverbs, we can follow these general rules:

1. For one-syllable adjectives and adverbs, we can add "-er" for the comparative form and "-est" for the superlative form. 2. For adjectives and adverbs with two or more syllables, we can use "more" for the comparative form and "most" for the superlative form.

Let's apply these rules to the given words:

1. Comparative and Superlative Forms: - large: larger, largest - tall: taller, tallest - long: longer, longest - easy: easier, easiest - hot: hotter, hottest - big: bigger, biggest - cold: colder, coldest - nice: nicer, nicest - bad: worse, worst - strong: stronger, strongest - short: shorter, shortest - wide: wider, widest - good: better, best - happy: happier, happiest - high: higher, highest - low: lower, lowest - busy: busier, busiest - well (adverb): better, best - little: less, least - many: more, most - far: farther, farthest or further, furthest (both forms are correct)

2. Additional Words: - wonderful: more wonderful, most wonderful - necessary: more necessary, most necessary - quickly: more quickly, most quickly - interesting: more interesting, most interesting - comfortable: more comfortable, most comfortable - popular: more popular, most popular - active: more active, most active - famous: more famous, most famous - pleasant: more pleasant, most pleasant - beautiful: more beautiful, most beautiful - slowly: more slowly, most slowly - clearly: more clearly, most clearly

Please note that the comparative and superlative forms may vary depending on the context and the specific usage. The forms provided here are general guidelines.
