Adjectives and Adverbs: Comparative and Superlative Forms – Complete Lists

Adjectives and adverbs have a close relationship. Both are modifiers: 1) adjectives modify nouns, and 2) adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. This close relationship is why we can simply add an –ly to so many adjectives in order to create adverbs. And it’s for this reason that we cover comparative and superlative adjectives and adverbs at the same time.

Two Methods of Creating the Comparative and Superlative Forms: 1) Add Suffix Method, and 2) Add Adverb Method

The BASE FORM of an adjective and adverb is also called  the POSITIVE FORM. From this base form, we create the comparative and superlative forms. We have two ways of creating these forms:

1.  Add Suffix Method: Add the suffix –er  or –est to the end of the adjective or adverb.

2.  Add Adverb Method: Place one of these adverbs immediately in front of the adjective or adverb: more, less, most, least.

Comparative Examples: Add –er, more, or less.

1.  Add Suffix er: e.g., braver, longer, scarier.

2.  Add Adverb more, less: e.g., more outrageous, more ambitious, less powerful.

Superlative Examples: Add –est, most, or least.

1.  Add Suffix –est:  e.g., fastest, tallest, softest.

2.  Add Adverb most, least: e.g., most affordable, least desirable.

Although many adjectives use the Suffix Method, many more use the Adverb Method. In contrast, VERY FEW adverbs use the Suffix Method; NEARLY ALL adverbs use the Adverb Method.

Note: Adverbs are the only words that can modify adjectives and other adverbs; hence, more, less, most, and least are all adverbs.

Gradable

Worth mentioning here, many adverbs and adjectives are Gradable. Gradable is quite similar to the Adverb Method of creating comparatives and superlatives. The difference is that gradable deals with matters of degree; however, gradable is similar in that it involves placing an appropriate adverb in front of an adjective or adverb.

Here is a short list of adverbs that we use to grade: very, so, too, extremely, highly, really, mildly, moderately, outrageously, truly etc.

Graded Adjective Examples:   extremely kind, highly effective, very generous.

Graded Adverb Examples:       very calmly, extremely fast, too slowly.

The –er  and –est Adverbs

Only a few adverbs use the Suffix Method. In fact, we can list the majority of them right here. (* irregular)

1) badly, worse, worst *8) fast, faster, fastest15) much, more, most *
2) bright (ly), brighter, brightest9) hard, harder, hardest16) near, nearer, neatest
3) close (ly), closer, closest10) high, higher, highest17) quick (ly), quicker, quickest
4) deep, deeper, deepest11) late, later, latest18) slow (ly), slower, slowest
5) early, earlier, earliest12) little, less, least *19) some, more, most *
6) far, farther, farthest *13) loudly, louder, loudest20) soon, sooner, soonest
7) far, further, furthest *14) low, lower, lowest21) tight (ly), tighter, tightest
22) well, better, best *

A few notes on –er and –est adverbs: :

•  ALL of the –er and –est adverbs are also –er and –est adjectives. They are spelled exactly the same. The same is true with many of the base words.

•  Some of these adverbs can be used with or without the –ly at the end; hence the (ly) parentheses found at the end of a few words in the list.

•  With many of these adverbs, the –er suffix seems to be used more than the –est suffix.

•  Some of these may work better or be more formal with the Adverb Method e.g., more quickly.

REMEMBER THIS: We use more, less, most, and least at least 99% of the time with comparative and superlative adverbs. This Suffix Method is rare with adverbs.

Counting Syllables: How to Correctly Use the Suffix Method and the Adverb Method

As mentioned, we often change adjectives into adverbs by adding the suffix –ly. (Naturally, we must also apply any required spelling-change rules.)

happy ⇒ happilywise ⇒ wiselynormal ⇒ normally
fluent ⇒ fluentlynice ⇒ nicelyfond ⇒ fondly

As you can see, by adding –ly we add a new syllable to each of the adjectives. In effect, one-syllable adjectives become two-syllable adverbs, and two-syllable adjectives become three-syllable adverbs.

This is important to note because the number of syllables largely determines whether we use the Suffix Method or the Adverb Method. Here is a chart that outlines the general rules. I say general rules because I see plenty of authoritative writers breaking these so-called rules for literary effect

 

One-Syllable Adjectives: Use SuffixTwo-Syllable Adverbs: Use Adverbs ***
wiser thanthe wisestmore wisely thanthe most wisely
Two-Syllable Adjectives that End in -y: Use Suffix **Three-Syllable Adverbs: Use Adverbs
angrier thanthe angriestmore angrily thanthe most angrily
Two or More Syllable Adjectives: Use AdverbsThree or More Syllable Adverbs: Use Adverbs
the more frequentthe most frequentmore frequently thanthe most frequently
** According to various dictionaries or authoritative usage, the following words may break this rule (by accepting –ed and –est) or be Author’s Choice: able, bitter, clever, eerie, evil, feeble, foolhardy, gentle, handsome, humble, little, mellow, narrow, nimble, noble, pleasant, polite, quiet, remote, rotten, secure, serene, severe, shallow, sincere, subtle, sulky, unhappy, unlikely, unlucky, unruly.
*** Please see the short list of adverbs that use the suffix method (–er and –est).

List of Nearly 500 –er  and –est Adjectives

From a master list of about 4,600 words that function as adjectives, I found that only about 600 accept the –er  and –est suffix. I’ve included only about 500 of these 600 words in the list below, illustrating the fact that just because you can add an –er  and –est to the end of an adjective doesn’t mean that it will be a word that a person would ever use. Even out of the 500 that remain, some are of little use.

REMEMBER THIS: A much larger percentage of those 4,600 adjectives can have the adverbs more, less, most, and least placed in front of them in order to create comparatives and superlatives.

 

The KEY to the Marks in the List

*   Irregular Forms

+  The –er and –est versions can also used as adverbs; however, the base-word may differ in spelling from the adverb base-word. (e.g., good vs. well)

=  Possible Rulebreaker: Most of these are two-syllable adjectives that don’t end in –y, but that accept –er and –est. Others are three-syllable adjectives that accept –er and –est. (Verified through various dictionaries and authoritative usage.)

A Note on The Danger of Word Lists: We should be teaching students that you must analyze a word in a sentence to determine what part of speech it is. It’s true—all of the following words CAN be used as adjectives; however, some can also be used as adverbs (marked). Furthermore, I see a number words that can be used as verbs, pronouns, prepositions, and nouns.
