Good, better, best, bad, worse and worst

Key Notes :

✨ Good πŸ‘, Better 🌟, Best πŸ†, Bad πŸ‘Ž, Worse ⚑, Worst 🚫

Adjectives and adverbs can show different levels (degrees) of quality.

πŸ‘‰ We mainly use three forms:

  • Positive degree β†’ The basic form.
  • Comparative degree β†’ Used to compare two things.
  • Superlative degree β†’ Used to compare more than two things.
  • Good (Positive) β†’ This book is good. πŸ“–
  • Better (Comparative) β†’ This book is better than that one. πŸ“˜ > πŸ“—
  • Best (Superlative) β†’ This is the best book of all. πŸ†πŸ“š

πŸ’‘ Tip: β€œBetter” is used when comparing two things. β€œBest” is used when comparing three or more.

  • Bad (Positive) β†’ The food is bad. πŸ”πŸ˜–
  • Worse (Comparative) β†’ This food is worse than yesterday’s. 🍟⚑
  • Worst (Superlative) β†’ This is the worst food I have ever eaten. 🚫🍲

πŸ’‘ Tip: Just like β€œgood,” β€œbad” also changes in an irregular way.

  • βœ”οΈ Use Good/Better/Best for positive qualities. 🌟
  • βœ”οΈ Use Bad/Worse/Worst for negative qualities. ❌
  • βœ”οΈ Comparative = two items πŸ‘«
  • βœ”οΈ Superlative = three or more πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦
  • My handwriting is good ✍️, but hers is better πŸ–‹οΈ, and the teacher’s is the best πŸ†.
  • Today’s weather is bad 🌧️, yesterday’s was worse ⚑, but last week’s storm was the worst πŸŒͺ️.
