Comprehensive Practice: Irregular Comparison Challenge Quiz

When we compare two things with 'good,' we use the irregular comparative form 'better.' We do not say 'more good,' 'gooder,' or 'best than.' So 'This dog is better than that dog' is the correct sentence.

To show that one person has the greatest amount in a whole group, we use the superlative form 'the most.' The correct sentence is 'Liam has the most stickers in the class.' The other choices do not use the superlative form correctly.

When we compare amounts between two people with 'many,' we use the irregular comparative form 'more.' So we say 'I have more marbles than you.' We do not say 'many marbles than' or 'most marbles than' when comparing two people.

The irregular superlative form of 'bad' is 'worst.' We use 'worst' to describe one score out of all the scores in the past. So 'This is the worst score I have ever gotten' is written correctly.

The irregular superlative form of 'bad' is 'worst.' We use 'worst' to show the lowest quality in a whole group. So 'That was the worst movie of all' is correct. 'Worse' compares two, and 'baddest' or 'more bad' are not correct here.

When we talk about one person who is number one in a group, we use the superlative form 'best.' So we say 'Kayla is the best' when comparing her to all the other runners.

To show that one person has the greatest amount in a group, we use the superlative form 'the most.' The sentence 'He has the most marbles in the whole class' correctly shows that his amount is higher than everyone else’s.

The irregular comparative form of 'bad' is 'worse.' We use 'worse' to compare two things. 'Badder' and 'more bad' are not used in standard English, and 'worst than' is incorrect because 'worst' is a superlative form used with a group, not with 'than' for two items.

When we compare smaller amounts of something, like time, we use the irregular comparative form 'less.' So we say 'We have less time than yesterday.' 'Littler,' 'more little,' and 'least time than' are not correct ways to compare two days.

We do not use 'more good' to compare two things. The correct comparative form of 'good' is 'better.' The sentence should be 'My drawing is better than yours,' so the original sentence is not the best way to say it.

To compare two things with the adjective 'hard,' we add '-er' and say 'harder.' So the correct sentence is 'This puzzle is harder than that one.'

To show the smallest amount in a whole group, we use the superlative form 'the least.' So 'Monday has the least homework of the week' is correct. 'Less' compares two, and 'littlest homework than' is not a standard way to say this.

When we compare smaller amounts with 'little,' we use the irregular comparative form 'less.' So the correct sentence is 'We have less candy left than we did yesterday.'

When we talk about one thing that is at the top in a group of three or more, we use the superlative form 'best.' The correct way is 'This pizza is the best of all the pizzas.' The other choices do not use the superlative form correctly.

When we compare distances between two places, we often use 'farther' as the comparative form of 'far.' So 'Central Park is farther than Hill Park' is correct. 'More far' and 'most far' are not standard, and 'farthest than' is not used to compare just two places.

We use 'worse' to compare two things and 'worst' to talk about the lowest quality in a group. Sentences A and B are correct uses, and E correctly uses 'worst' to describe one storm out of many. 'Baddest' and 'more bad' are not standard English, so C and D are incorrect.

To show that one thing is at the highest level in a group, we use the superlative form. With 'fun,' we usually say 'the most fun.' So 'This game is the most fun of all the games' is correct. 'More fun' is used only when comparing two things.

We use 'better' to compare two things and 'best' to show the top one in a group. Sentences A and B compare and show the top correctly. Sentence E also uses 'best' correctly to show the highest grade. 'More good' and 'most better' are not correct forms, so C and D are wrong.

Sentences D and E are incorrect. In D, we should say 'worst mistake,' not 'baddest mistake,' because 'bad' changes to 'worst' in the superlative. In E, we should say 'the best singer,' not 'the most best.' Sentences A, B, and C already use correct comparative and superlative forms.

For 'many,' we use 'more' to compare two and 'the most' to show the greatest amount in a group. For 'little,' we use 'less' to compare two. So A, B, and C are correct. Sentence D should say 'the least crayons of my friends,' and 'manyest' in E is not a real word.
