Let’s look at comparative adjectives.
We use comparative adjectives to compare two or more things or people.
For example: Jack is tall. Roger is small.
Jack is taller than Roger.
To make the comparative we have taken the adjective tall, and added er : TALL + ER = taller .
This rule applies to most adjectives but there are some spelling variations, and there are some irregular adjectives which have to be learnt!
Watch the first video to see how to form the comparative with regular and irregular adjectives, and learn the spelling rules. Then do the fun quiz in the second video.
Finally, you can practice by doing the exercices at the bottom of the page.
Have fun!!

Nous allons regarder l’adjectif comparatif.
Nous utilison l’adjectif comparatif pour comparer deux choses ou personnes.
Exemple: Jack is tall. Roger is small.
Jack is taller than Roger.
Nous formons le comparatif à partir d’un adjective (tall) auquel nous ajoutons er : TALL + ER = taller
Cette regle s’applique à presque tous les adjectifs mais parfois il y a des variations d’ortographe et, il y a des adjectifs irreguliers qu’il faut apprendre par coeur.
Dans la premiere vidéo nous allons voir comment former le comparatif avec les adjectifs reguliers et irreguliers. Dans la deuxième vidéo il y a un quiz amusant !
