Suppose you are a witness to this crime and help the Police to identify the robber. Use the following key words and phrases to describe him. 1. Age: elderly, middle –aged, young, under 30, past 40 … 2. Height: tall, short, thick neck, broad – shouldered … 3. Build: slim, stout, thick neck, broad – shouldered … 4.

Ears: stick out … 9. Distinctive marks: freckles, hunchback, a mole on his right cheek, beard, moustache … NOTE: Some two syllable adjectives like happy (clever, common, narrow, pleasant, quiet, simple, stupid) have two comparative or superlative forms: -either with – er / est: She is cleverer than you. She is the cleverest person I know. - or with more / the most She is more clever than you. She is the most clever person I know Comparative and superlative forms often confused: Further and farther refer to distance: London is five miles further/farther. Further (not farther) can mean “in addition”: There is no further information. We use elder/eldest before a noun only with reference to people in a family: my elder brother/son, the eldest child, he is the eldest (but not: He is elder than me) We use older/oldest for people and things: He is older than I am. This book is older. Lesser is formed from less but it is a true comparative. We can not use than after it. Lesser means not so great and we use it in fixed phrases like: the lesser of two evils. Latest/last: I bought the latest (i.e. most recent) edition of today’s paper. I bought the last (i.e. final) edition of today’s paper. The comparative and superlative of little is smaller/smallest: a small/little boy, a smaller/the smallest boy. Grammar: The Comparison of Adjectives. Common comparative and superlative forms: We use the comparative when comparing one person or thing with another. We use the superlative when comparing one person or thing with more than one.
