How this list was compiled: Written for this page. In the first set a blank takes the comparative (with than) or the superlative (the one of all) of an adjective, beside the other form and one that standard English does not use, such as more heavy or gooder; short adjectives take -er and -est, longer ones more and most, and good, bad, little and many change. Adjectives whose more and most forms are as usual as their -er and -est forms (quiet, clever, simple) were left out; for happy, lucky, easy, deep, long and wide, where a dictionary also lists more and most, the third choice is a doubled form such as more happier. In the second set a blank takes two or three adjectives in their usual English order: number, opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material. The rules follow the Wikipedia articles Adjective and Comparison (grammar), read 2 October 2026, and the Common Core language standards L.3.1g and L.4.1d, read the same day. No person, brand or character is named. Licence: own work

How it works

Each sheet draws 6 of our sentences. One set asks for the comparing form that fits (heavier, heaviest, more careful, best). The other asks which order of adjectives sounds right: three small wooden boxes, never wooden three small boxes.

Read the full guide

Comparing: -er, -est, more, most

Than calls for the comparative: heavier than, more careful than. One of all calls for the superlative: the coldest night, the most famous painting. Short words take -er and -est, long words take more and most, and four change: better, worst, less, most.

Order of adjectives

English lines adjectives up in a usual order: number, opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material. So it is two little gray kittens and a long blue wool scarf. Pick either set under Set; left on All of them, a sheet mixes both.

  • The third choice in a comparing sentence is a form standard English does not use, such as gooder or more tall.

Questions and answers

What do 5th graders learn about adjectives?

Nothing new in the standards. The Common Core teaches comparing forms in grade 3 (L.3.1g) and the order of adjectives in grade 4 (L.4.1d), so a fifth grade class meets both as review.

Is there a comparative adjectives worksheet for 2nd grade?

Pick Comparing forms under Set for a sheet of those only. For second graders, type your own sentences with short words: The pond is ___ than the lake. = smaller / smallest.

What is the order of adjectives?

Number, opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, then material, with the noun last: three small wooden boxes. Few phrases use more than three. Our sentences never put age and shape side by side, where usage varies.

Is there an answer key?

Yes. It prints as the last page, with the right choice circled and written in each blank. Uncheck Add an answer key as the last page under More options to leave it off.
