Example Questions
Example Question #2 : Usage
Select the word(s) that correctly completes the sentence provided.
Jake shouted the __________ during the championship game.
louder
more loud
most loud
loudest
loudest
The correct answer is "loudest".
Jake shouted the loudest during the championship game.
In this sentence, we are comparing all of the people at the game. 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, "loud" is a one syllable adjective, so "more" or "most" should not be added to the sentence.

later
later
The correct answer is "later".
I sleep-in later than my sister.
In this sentence, we are comparing two things. How I sleep in compared to my sister. 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.
