question

Complete the sentence with the correct comparative or superlative adjective.

"I have to confess that I had a iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigood time at the football rally than at the antique auction," Scarlett told her dad.

key idea

You can use adjectives to compare people, places, or things.

Comparative adjectives compare a thing or group to some other thing or group. They usually end in -er.

Superlative adjectives compare a thing or group of things to the larger group that it is part of. They usually end in -est.

The adjectives good and bad are irregular.

Base	Comparative	Superlative
good	better	best
bad	worse	worst

solution

Decide if you should use a comparative or superlative adjective. The sentence compares two things: the time Scarlett spent at the football rally and the time she spent at the antique auction. So, you should use good in its comparative adjective form, better.
