Check understanding
- Form comparatives and superlatives for 'big' (bigger/biggest), 'beautiful' (more/most beautiful), and 'good' (better/best)
- Choose the correct form in 'She runs _____ (faster/more fast) than her brother' and explain the rule
- Write sentences using both a comparative adverb ('more carefully') and a superlative adjective ('tallest') correctly
“If your child is comparing three things — like three books they've read — can they correctly say one is "good", another is "better", and the best one is "the best"?”
