How to use them
For adjectives with one syllable, add er and est. Sometimes the spelling changes. Don't forget the for the superlative.
tall - taller - the tallest
I'm taller than my brother. My father is the tallest in my family.
big - bigger - the biggest
My room is bigger than my sister's room. Our parents' room is the biggest room in the house.
For adjectives with two syllables which end in y, take away the y and add ier and iest. Don't forget the for the superlative.
easy - easier - the easiest
Maths is easier than science. English is the easiest subject.
For other adjectives with two or more syllables, use more and most. Don't forget the for the superlative.

pizza. I think Spaghetti is the most delicious food.
Hi QuickJade1,
In the first game the question is 'This country has the biggest population in the world'. 'Population' means the number of people who live somewhere. China is the country with the most people, so that's why it's the answer :-)
Hope you're enjoying the activities here!

I don not game.You can make a game like this: Step 1: Choose a male or female doll. Step 2: Write a phrase or sentence on the doll's forehead. Step 3: Place 3 to 4 outfits next to it. Step 4: Write words on the doll's clothes and give one word that matches the phrase on the doll's forehead. The way to play is to dress the doll in the outfit with the word that matches the blank space on the doll's forehead. Thank you.
