Irregular comparatives and superlatives GOOD – BETTER – THE BEST BAD – WORSE – THE WORST FAR – FURTHER – THE FURTHEST MUCH/MANY – MORE – THE MOST Remember: we ALWAYS have to use than after the comparative to introduce the person or thing we compare to.

  5. Lower degree comparatives & superlatives: they are introduced by less and the least E.g., she is less tall than her brother, that is the least bright colour Same degree comparatives: as … as, so … as E.g., Tom is as intelligent as his sister Comparative and superlative forms 3
