Use comparative and superlative adjectives to compare and contrast best places in the world.

Answer exercises on your textbook

Comparative And Superlative Rules

With regular one syllable adjectives, to make the comparative form we simply add -er, and to make the superlative form we add -est. For example, fast – faster – fastest.
With one and two syllable adjectives that end in -y, it is slightly different. To make the comparative form the y is dropped and -ier is added. To make the superlative form, the y is dropped and -iest is added. For example, happy – happier – happiest.
With adjectives that end with a single vowel followed by a single consonant, then the consonant is doubled and -er / -est is added. For example, big – bigger – biggest.
With 2 syllable adjectives that don’t end in -y, and all 3 or more syllable adjectives, we add more to make the comparative form, and most to make the superlative form. For example, beautiful – more beautiful – the most beautiful.

NOTE: there are irregular adjectives that do not follow these rules and so students need to memorize the comparative and superlative forms of irregular adjectives.

#DieWithASmile BRUNO MARS and LADY GAGA

Posted on September 2, 2024September 2, 2024 by Ms. Elle

Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga’s new song, “Die with a Smile,” has set social media abuzz with a spectrum of reactions, showcasing the polarizing nature of the collaboration between two pop powerhouses.

Fans of both artists are thrilled, praising the track for its emotional depth and the seamless blend of Mars’s soulful vocals with Gaga’s distinctive style. Many applaud the duo for tackling themes of love, loss, and resilience with a fresh perspective. The hashtag #DieWithASmile quickly trended as fans shared their emotional connection to the lyrics, describing the song as a masterpiece that strikes a chord with listeners.

However, the song has also sparked criticism. Some listeners feel the track is overly sentimental, with the production leaning too heavily on dramatic crescendos that overshadow the artists’ voices. Others argue that the song is a departure from both artists’ usual styles, making it difficult for long-time fans to fully embrace the new sound. Critics have labeled it as an attempt to appeal to a broader audience, which has diluted the unique qualities that define Mars and Gaga individually.

In summary, “Die with a Smile” has ignited a passionate debate, with opinions ranging from admiration to disappointment, highlighting the risks and rewards of artistic collaboration.

I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Joseph Quinn and Doja Cat: An Unexpected Romance Captures the Spotlight

August 19, 2024 – In an unexpected twist that has captivated fans and media alike, British actor Joseph Quinn and American rapper-singer Doja Cat have sparked a high-profile romance that’s the talk of the entertainment world. The pairing of the “Stranger Things” star and the chart-topping musician has been the subject of relentless speculation and excitement since they were first spotted together earlier this month.

The Beginning of the Romance

Rumors of a relationship began to swirl when Quinn, 31, and Doja Cat, 28, were seen attending a low-key dinner at an upscale restaurant in Los Angeles. Eyewitnesses reported that the two appeared to be deeply engrossed in conversation, laughing and sharing intimate moments. Their chemistry was undeniable, and the sighting sent shockwaves through social media, igniting a frenzy among fans and paparazzi.

Sources close to the couple reveal that their connection began more casually, with a shared appreciation for music and film. They were introduced through mutual friends at a Hollywood event earlier this year. Their bond quickly grew beyond professional admiration, leading to their public debut as a couple.

Public Appearances and Social Media

Since their initial sighting, Quinn and Doja Cat have made several joint appearances that have only fueled the speculation. They attended a charity gala together in New York City, where they were seen holding hands and sharing affectionate glances. Their red carpet debut as a couple was a standout moment, with Doja Cat donning a glamorous, shimmering gown and Quinn opting for a sharp, tailored suit.

Social media has been abuzz with reactions to their romance. Fans have been quick to express their excitement, with many taking to Twitter and Instagram to share their thoughts and speculations. Doja Cat and Quinn have both taken to their social media accounts to share playful and cryptic posts about each other, further stoking the fire of public curiosity.

The Impact on Their Careers

The relationship has had a noticeable impact on both stars’ public images. For Joseph Quinn, known for his role as Eddie Munson in “Stranger Things,” the romance has brought a new level of visibility and media attention. Quinn’s fan base has been vocal in their support, and his latest projects have seen a surge in interest.

For Doja Cat, whose career has been defined by her genre-blending music and bold public persona, the relationship adds another layer of intrigue to her already vibrant public image. The buzz surrounding their romance has only amplified the anticipation for her upcoming album, which is rumored to feature a few tracks inspired by her new relationship.

What’s Next for the Couple?

As with any high-profile relationship, speculation about the future is inevitable. Some sources suggest that Quinn and Doja Cat are planning a joint project, potentially a music video or collaborative performance, that could showcase their creative chemistry. Others hint at a potential international getaway, with the couple rumored to be considering a vacation to a romantic European destination.

Despite the media frenzy, both stars have been relatively private about the details of their relationship. In recent interviews, Quinn and Doja Cat have both expressed their desire to focus on their respective careers while navigating their personal lives away from the spotlight.

Joseph Quinn and Doja Cat’s unexpected romance has undeniably captured the public’s imagination. Their pairing has brought together fans from both the acting and music worlds, creating a unique blend of celebrity allure. As they continue to make headlines and share glimpses of their relationship, it’s clear that this is one celebrity romance that will keep fans and media intrigued for months to come.
