✅ Answer Key with VERY Detailed Explanations
1. My house is bigger than yours.
Correct: b) bigger
Why:
We are comparing two things (my house vs your house).
For short adjectives (one syllable), we add -er.
❌ big → base form
❌ biggest → used only for superlatives (the + -est)
Rule:
big → bigger → biggest
2. This exercise is easier than the last one.
Correct: b) easier
Why:
Easy ends in consonant + y, so y → i + er.
Rule:
easy → easier → easiest
3. She is the tallest student in the class.
Correct: c) tallest
Why:
We are comparing more than two people, so we use the superlative form.
📌 Superlatives usually take the.
4. Today is hotter than yesterday.
Correct: b) hotter
Why:
Hot ends in consonant–vowel–consonant, so we double the final consonant.
Rule:
hot → hotter → hottest

Correct: b) more interesting
Why:
Long adjectives (2+ syllables) use more / most, not -er / -est.

Good is an irregular adjective.
