Is this sentence correct? "She is more tall than her sister.", ❌ Incorrect. "Tall" is a one-syllable adjective, so we add -er, not more. → "She is taller than her sister.", True or False: "This is not as expensive as I thought" means the thing is cheaper than expected., ✅ True. "Not as expensive as" means it costs less than expected — it is cheaper., Can we use "more" with one-syllable adjectives like fast or cold? (Yes/No — and explain.), No. For one-syllable adjectives we add -er: fast → faster, cold → colder. We only use more with longer adjectives (two syllables or more) or adverbs., Is "gooder" or "better" the correct comparative of good?, ✅ "Better" — good is an irregular adjective. It does not follow the standard rules., Find and correct the mistake: "This exam was more harder than the last one.", ❌ "more harder" — double comparative. We use either -er OR more, never both. → "This exam was harder than the last one.", Correct this sentence: "He is the most good student in the class.", ❌ "most good" → ✅ *"the best" — good is irregular. → "He is the best student in the class.", What's wrong here? "She runs more fast than her brother.", ❌ "more fast" → ✅ "faster" — fast is a one-syllable adverb, so we add -er. → "She runs faster than her brother.", Fix the mistake: "This coffee is not as hot than I expected.", ❌ "not as hot than" → ✅ "not as hot as" — the structure is always as … as or not as … as, never than. → "This coffee is not as hot as I expected.", What are the three rules for forming comparatives of short adjectives?
