This ESL grammar lesson introduces students to special cases in which “more + adjective” is used with shorter adjectives (rather than “adjective + -er”).
ESL Grammar: What are Irregular Adjectives?
Irregular adjectives do not follow the usual pattern of adding -er or using “more” for comparison. Instead, they have special forms that must be memorized. These adjectives change in unique ways when comparing two things.
The beginner-level grammar lesson below introduces the concept of irregular comparative adjectives in a clear and simple manner to help young ESL learners to understand this concept. Our series of ESL grammar lessons on subjects and verbs introduce these concepts and reinforce them through helpful and instructive exercises.
This lesson is available for free download, and you can download many more English grammar lessons focusing on all different parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs and lots more!) in our comprehensive, beginner-level ESL grammar textbook Great, Great Grammar! (Book 1: Parts of Speech).
