About this resource

Introduction

If you’re teaching comparative and superlative adjectives and your students are having a hard time remembering when to use -er and -est, this resource was made to give them extra practice in a simple and clear way. I created these exercises after noticing that many students understand the difference between comparing two things and comparing three or more things, but still make mistakes when using the correct adjective form in sentences. The goal of these activities is to provide focused practice so students can build confidence and improve their grammar skills through repetition.
