Q1 15

Question 1: My bag is ___ than yours.

Question 1 options
'Heavier' is correct because 'heavy' is a two-syllable adjective ending in -y, so change the y to i and add -er. 'More heavy' incorrectly uses 'more' with an adjective that takes -er. 'Heavyer' misspells the form by not changing y to i. 'Heaviest' is the superlative, not the comparative.
Q2 15

Question 2: The new classroom is ___ than the old one.

Question 2 options
'Cleaner' is correct because 'clean' is a one-syllable adjective, so we add -er to form the comparative. 'More clean' is not the standard form for one-syllable adjectives. 'Cleanest' is the superlative form. 'More cleaner' is a double comparative, which is always incorrect.
Q3 15

Question 3: To form the comparative of adjectives with three or more syllables, you use 'more' or 'less' before the adjective.

Question 3 options
True because adjectives with three or more syllables (e.g., 'expensive → more expensive', 'difficult → less difficult') always form their comparative with 'more' or 'less', never with the -er ending.
Q4 15

Question 4: When do we use a comparative adjective?

Question 4 options
Comparative adjectives are used to show how two things are different from each other. They are not used to describe one thing alone, to list qualities without comparison, or to say something is the best or worst in a group (that is the superlative).
Q5 15

Question 5: Arrange the words to make a correct sentence:

Question 5 options
  • that one
  • wider
  • This road
  • than
  • is

Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.

The correct order is 'This road is wider than that one' because the comparative adjective 'wider' comes after the linking verb 'is' and must be followed by 'than' when comparing two things.
Q6 15

Question 6: Which sentence is correct?

Question 6 options
'This test is more difficult than the last one' is correct because 'difficult' has three syllables and takes 'more' before it. 'More easier' is a double comparative. 'Importanter' incorrectly adds -er to a three-syllable adjective. 'More happier' is also a double comparative.
Q7 15

Question 7: A: Which jacket should I buy? B: Get the blue one. It looks ___ than the red one.

Question 7 options
'Nicer' is correct because 'nice' is a one-syllable adjective ending in -e, so we add only -r to form the comparative. 'More nicer' is a double comparative. 'More nice' is not standard for one-syllable adjectives. 'Nicest' is the superlative, not used to compare two specific items here.
Q8 15

Question 8: Which sentence correctly uses the comparative form (not the superlative)?

Question 8 options
'My sister is taller than me' correctly uses the comparative form with 'than' to compare two people. The other options use superlative forms ('tallest', 'most tall') or no comparative structure, which are not comparative adjective forms.
Q9 15

Question 9: Put the words in the correct order:

Question 9 options
  • yesterday
  • than
  • The weather today
  • worse
  • is

Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.

The correct order is 'The weather today is worse than yesterday' because 'worse' is the irregular comparative of 'bad' and is followed by 'than' when comparing two things.
Q10 15

Question 10: The science homework was ___ than the maths homework.

Question 10 options
'More interesting' is correct because 'interesting' has four syllables and must use 'more' to form the comparative. 'Interestinger' wrongly adds -er to a long adjective. 'Most interesting' is the superlative. 'More interestinger' is a double comparative error.
Q11 15

Question 11: Which statement about comparative adjectives is true?

Question 11 options
The word 'than' is required after a comparative adjective when comparing two things (e.g., 'She is taller than her brother'). Comparative adjectives are not used with 'the', double forms like 'more bigger' are always wrong, and -er is not added to all adjectives regardless of length.
Q12 15

Question 12: Rewrite using the comparative: 'The old phone was bad. The new phone is even worse.' → The new phone is even ___ the old one.

Question 12 options
'Worse than' is correct because 'worse' is the irregular comparative of 'bad', and 'than' must follow the comparative adjective when making a comparison. 'More bad than' uses an incorrect regular form for an irregular adjective. 'Worst than' is the superlative form used incorrectly. 'Badder than' is a non-standard form.
Q13 15

Question 13: Match each sentence to the correct grammar label.

Question 13 options
This box is bigger than that one.
She is friendlier than her sister.
This task is more comfortable than the last.
His results were better than mine.
One-syllable adjective: double consonant + -er
Irregular comparative form
Three-or-more syllable adjective: use 'more'
Two-syllable adjective ending in -y: change y to i + -er

Select an item on the left, then tap its match on the right.

One-syllable adjectives take -er; adjectives ending in -y change to -ier; adjectives with three or more syllables use 'more'; irregular adjectives have unique comparative forms.
Q14 15

Question 14: Some adjectives, such as 'unique' and 'perfect', cannot correctly be used in a comparative form like 'more unique' or 'more perfect'.

Question 14 options
True because 'unique' and 'perfect' are absolute adjectives — they describe a quality that cannot exist in degrees. Attempting to compare them (e.g., 'more unique') is considered a grammar error in standard English.
Q15 15

Question 15: A student wants to say that City A has more people than City B. Which sentence is best?

Question 15 options
'City A is more populated than City B' correctly uses the comparative form of a multi-syllable adjective with 'than' to compare two cities. 'Most populated' is a superlative used incorrectly for a two-item comparison. 'Populateder' is not a real word. 'More populater' is a double comparative error.
