Welcome to a thrilling journey where we combine the excitement of tennis with the beauty of the English language! In this chapter, we'll dive into comparative and superlative adjectives, helping you express differences and extremes in a fun and engaging way—all within the context of tennis.
Before we get into the comparative and superlative forms, let's review what adjectives are. Adjectives are words that describe nouns. For example:
Comparative adjectives are used to compare two nouns. In English, we generally form the comparative by adding “-er” to the adjective or using “more” before the adjective for longer adjectives.
Fast → Faster
Maria's serve is faster than Anna's two-handed backhand.
Tall → Taller
Mark is taller than Tom, which gives him an advantage at the net.
Strong → Stronger
John is stronger than his opponent, allowing him to deliver powerful groundstrokes.
Exciting → More Exciting
The final match was more exciting than the semi-finals.
Superlative adjectives denote the highest degree of a quality among three or more nouns. These adjectives are often formed by adding “-est” or using “most” before the adjective.
Fast → Fastest
Roger has one of the fastest serves in the history of tennis.
Tall → Tallest
At 6'10", Ivo Karlović is the tallest player on the ATP tour.
Strong → Strongest
She is the strongest player in her club, dominating the court.
Exciting → Most Exciting
