Q1  15
Q1 15

Question 1: My bag is ___ than yours.

Question 1 options
'Heavier' is correct because one-syllable and two-syllable adjectives ending in -y form the comparative by changing -y to -i and adding -er. 'More heavy' is incorrect for this adjective, 'heaviest' is the superlative, and 'most heavy' is incorrect form.
Q2 15

Question 2: This is ___ mountain in the world.

Question 2 options
'The tallest' is correct because the superlative degree is used when comparing three or more things, and it requires 'the' before the adjective plus the suffix -est for one-syllable adjectives. 'Taller' is comparative, 'more tall' is an incorrect form, and 'tallest' without 'the' is incomplete.
Q3 15

Question 3: For adjectives with three or more syllables, you always use 'more' for the comparative form and 'most' for the superlative form.

Question 3 options
True because long adjectives (three or more syllables) never take -er or -est endings. Adding -er/-est to words like 'beautiful' or 'interesting' is grammatically incorrect in standard English.
Q4 15

Question 4: Which situation correctly uses the comparative degree?

Question 4 options
The comparative degree is used to compare exactly two things or people. Comparing two cities' sizes is the correct use. The superlative is used for three or more items, the positive degree simply describes without comparison, and 'as...as' expresses equality rather than difference.
Q5 15

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

Question 5 options
  • This book
  • more interesting
  • is
  • than
  • that one

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

The correct order is 'This book is more interesting than that one' because multi-syllable adjectives use 'more' for the comparative, and 'than' follows the comparative adjective to introduce the second element being compared.
Q6 15

Question 6: Which sentence is grammatically correct?

Question 6 options
'She is more patient than her brother' is correct because 'patient' is a two-syllable adjective that uses 'more' for the comparative. 'Patienter' is not a valid English form, 'most patient' is the superlative not comparative, and 'more patienter' is a double comparative error.
Q7 15

Question 7: A: How was the new restaurant? B: Amazing! The food was ___ the old one near my office.

Question 7 options
'Much better than' is correct because the speaker is comparing two restaurants, so the comparative degree is needed. 'The best of' is superlative, 'as good as' expresses equality (but context implies it was better), and 'the most good' is not a valid English form.
Q8 15

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

Question 8 options
'My sister is younger than me' correctly uses the comparative form with -er and 'than' to compare two people. The other options either use superlative forms (youngest, most young) or an incorrect double superlative structure.
Q9 15

Question 9: Put the words in the correct order:

Question 9 options
  • his father
  • as tall as
  • is not
  • Jake

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

The correct order is 'Jake is not as tall as his father' because the negative 'as...as' structure uses 'not as + adjective + as' to show that two things are unequal, with the subject coming first.
Q10 15

Question 10: The new sports centre is ___ the old one in the city centre.

Question 10 options
'More modern than' is correct because 'modern' is a two-syllable adjective that takes 'more' for the comparative, and 'than' is required to introduce the second item being compared. 'Most modern' is superlative, 'moderner' is not a valid form, and 'as modern' needs a second 'as' to be complete.
Q11 15

Question 11: Which statement about the 'as...as' structure is true?

Question 11 options
The 'as...as' structure expresses that two things are equal in a quality. It does not show that one thing is better or worse than another, and it can be made negative with 'not as...as' to show inequality.
Q12 15

Question 12: Rewrite using the superlative: 'No other building in town is taller than this one.' → This is ___ in town.

Question 12 options
'The tallest building' is correct because the superlative of a one-syllable adjective like 'tall' is formed by adding -est, and the superlative must be preceded by 'the'. 'The most tall' is incorrect, 'taller building' is comparative, and 'the more tall' is not a valid superlative form.
Q13 15

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

Question 13 options
This soup is delicious.
This soup is more delicious than the salad.
This is the most delicious soup I have ever had.
This soup is as delicious as my grandmother's recipe.
Comparative degree
Positive degree
Equality comparison (as...as)
Superlative degree

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

Positive degree describes without comparing; comparative degree compares two things using -er or 'more'; superlative degree compares three or more using -est or 'most'; 'as...as' structure expresses equality between two things.
Q14 15

Question 14: The adjective 'clever' can form its comparative as either 'cleverer' or 'more clever' — both are acceptable.

Question 14 options
True because 'clever' is a two-syllable adjective ending in -er, which is a special group that allows both the -er suffix and 'more' for the comparative form. Students often think two-syllable adjectives must always use 'more', but endings like -er, -le, and -y are exceptions.
Q15 15

Question 15: Which sentence best expresses that two things are NOT equal in quality?

Question 15 options
'The blue coat is not as warm as the red one' correctly uses the 'not as...as' structure to show inequality between two things. The other options either express equality ('as warm as'), use an incorrect superlative in a two-item comparison ('the warmest of the two'), or use an unnatural double negative structure.
