Example Question #1 : Form And Use Comparative And Superlative Adjectives And Adverbs: Ccss.Ela Literacy.L.3.1.G
Select the word(s) that correctly completes the sentence provided.
I sleep-in __________ than my sister.
latest
later
more late
most late
later
In this sentence, we are comparing two things. How I sleep in compared to how my sister sleeps in. When we are comparing two things, we use a comparative adjective and add "er" to the end of a word. When more than two things are being compared, we use a superlative adjective and add "est" to the end of a word.
If the adjective is more than one syllable, we would add "more" or "most" before the adjective. In this case, "late" is a one syllable adjective, so "more" or "most" should not be added to the sentence.
The correct answer is "later".
I sleep-in later than my sister.
