The Degrees of Comparison of Adjectives
Степени сравнения прилагательных
Как и в русском языке, в английском прилагательные имеют три степени сравнения: положительную, сравнительную и превосходную.
Например, вкусный – вкуснее – самый вкусный
Образование:
У односложных и некоторых двусложных прилагательных (заканчивающихся на – r или – y) степени сравнения образуются путем прибавления к положительной форме суффиксов – er для сравнительной формы и – est для превосходной (эта форма используется с артиклем the).
Cheap – cheaper – t he cheapest
Happy – happier – the happiest
Правописание:
Удваивается согласная после краткой гласной (чтобы сохранить закрытый слог): big – bigger – the biggest.
Конечная – e опускается: nice – nicer – the nicest.
У большинства двусложных прилагательных, а также прилагательных, состоящих из трех и более слогов, степени сравнения образуются при помощи слов more и the most.
Expensive – more expensive – the most expensive
Useful – more useful – the most useful
Исключения, которые необходимо запомнить:
Good – better – the best
Bad – worse – the worst

And what he wrote on his application form was not true. He was born in 1965, but he wrote 1968. He left school when he was sixteen, not eighteen. He worked as a tea-boy. He went to college in 1985. He got a diploma in business management. He didn’t go to University. It was his second job, not the third. He didn’t give good answers to the manager’s questions and didn’t get the job.
