COMPARISON OF ADJECTIVES
You have previously learned how to form the comparative and the superlative forms of adjectives, using more and most.
Some/many more most
This grammatical construction shows how to describe and compare objects, moving on an upwards scale (5, 7, 10 - some, more, most).
To move down the scale ( 10, 7, 5) two different constructions are needed:
| few little/some |
fewer less |
fewest least |
Example A
There are a few fish in tank No 1. (10)
There are fewer fish in Tank No. 2 (7)
There are fewest fish in Tank No. 3 (5)
Few, fewer, fewest are used with countable nouns.
