2. Which sentence is the best way to fix this sentence: 'Today is more bad than yesterday.'?

Explanation

The comparative form of 'bad' is 'worse' when we compare two things. We do not say 'more bad,' 'bader,' 'badder,' or 'worst than.' So the correct sentence is 'Today is worse than yesterday.'

Submit
3. Fix this sentence: 'Of all the players, Mia is the goodest.'

Explanation

When we talk about one person being the top one in a group, we use the superlative form. The superlative of 'good' is 'best.' So we say 'Mia is the best' instead of 'goodest' or 'more good.'

Submit
4. Which sentence correctly compares how many books two people have?

Explanation

When we compare amounts between two people, we use 'more' with countable nouns like books. So we say 'Lila has more books than her brother,' not 'many books than' or 'most books than.'

Submit
5. The sentence 'Today’s weather is worse than yesterday’s' is written correctly.

Explanation

When comparing how bad the weather is on two different days, we use the comparative form 'worse.' The sentence 'Today’s weather is worse than yesterday’s' uses 'worse' correctly to compare two days.

Submit
6. Choose the best way to correct this sentence: 'I have much homework than you.'

Explanation

When comparing amounts that we cannot easily count, like 'homework,' we use 'more' to compare two people. 'I have more homework than you' is correct. 'Most' is used for three or more, and 'muchest' is not a word.

Submit
7. Which sentence uses the comparison with 'little' correctly?

Explanation

When we compare smaller amounts, we use 'less' as the comparative form of 'little.' So 'I have less candy than you' is correct. 'Littler' and 'least candy than' are not the right forms here.

Submit
8. Fill in the blank with the correct word: 'I have ______ apples than my sister. (many)'

Explanation

When comparing how many apples two people have, we use 'more' as the comparative form of 'many.' So we say 'I have more apples than my sister.'

Submit
9. How should we fix this sentence: 'The blue house is more far from school than the red house.'?

Explanation

When we compare distance between two things, we use 'farther' as the comparative form of 'far.' So we should say 'The blue house is farther from school than the red house.'

Submit
10. Fill in the blank with the correct word: 'That was the ______ storm of the year. (bad)'

Explanation

The superlative form of 'bad' is 'worst.' We use 'worst' when we talk about one thing that is at the lowest level in a whole group, so we say 'That was the worst storm of the year.'

Submit
11. Choose the correct way to say this sentence: 'That was the baddest movie I have ever seen.'

Explanation

When we talk about the lowest quality in a group, we use the superlative form of 'bad,' which is 'worst.' So we say 'That was the worst movie I have ever seen,' not 'baddest,' 'worse,' or 'more bad.'

Submit
12. Fix the comparison in this sentence: 'She runs gooder than I do.'

Explanation

The comparative form of 'good' is 'better.' When we compare how two people run, we say 'She runs better than I do,' not 'gooder' or 'more good.'

Submit
13. Select all the sentences that use irregular comparisons correctly.

Explanation

Irregular forms must follow standard patterns. 'Better' compares two things, 'best' shows the top one in a group, and 'more' is used to compare amounts. So A, C, and D are correct. 'Worser' and 'most better' are incorrect forms.

Submit
14. Which two sentences use comparisons incorrectly and need to be fixed?

Explanation

Sentence C is wrong because we do not say 'baddest'; the correct superlative form of 'bad' is 'worst.' Sentence E is wrong because we should use the regular comparative 'harder,' not 'more hard.' Sentences A, B, and D use comparisons correctly.

Submit
15. Select all the sentences that correctly use 'farther' or 'farthest' to compare distance.

Explanation

We use 'farther' to compare the distance between two things and 'farthest' to show the greatest distance in a group. Sentence A correctly uses 'farther' to compare two houses. Sentence C correctly uses 'farthest' to show the longest distance. B should use 'farthest,' and D and E are incorrect because 'more far' and 'most far' are not standard forms.

Submit
16. The sentence 'This cake is more good than that one' is the best way to say it.

Explanation

We do not say 'more good' when comparing two things. We use the irregular comparative 'better.' The correct way to say the sentence is 'This cake is better than that one,' so the given sentence is not the best way to say it.

Submit
17. Which sentence correctly uses the superlative form to show the most fun game of all?

Explanation

To show that something is at the top level in a group, we use the superlative form. We often say 'the most fun' to talk about the top game. 'More fun' is for comparing two, and 'funner' is not standard in formal writing.

Submit
18. The sentence 'Of all the players, Max is the best' correctly uses the superlative form of 'good.'

Explanation

When we talk about one person being at the top in a whole group, we use the superlative form 'best.' The sentence 'Of all the players, Max is the best' uses 'best' correctly to show that Max is number one in the group.

Submit
19. Choose all the sentences that correctly use 'bad,' 'worse,' or 'worst.'

Explanation

We use 'worse' to compare two things and 'worst' to talk about the lowest quality in a group. Sentence C uses 'worst' correctly, and D uses 'worse' correctly. Sentence B is also correct because it uses 'better,' the correct comparative of 'good.' A should use 'worst' instead of 'worse,' and E should use 'worse' instead of 'more bad.'

Submit
20. Fill in the blank with the correct word: 'This book is ______ than that one. (good)'
