Homework AYF 5 February

Do the following exercises on comparatives and superlatives.


*In group 1 (monosyllables), we don't double the final letter when the adjective ends in
vowel + vowel + consonant; or
vowel + consonant + consonant:

cheap - cheaper - cheapest,

old - older - oldest

*So remember only to double the final letter of monosyllabic adjectives ending in C+V+C. You will end up doing this automatically.
