Para falar sobre adjetivos comparativos e superlativos em inglês é preciso saber algumas regrinhas. Parece fácil, mas quando estiver estudando inglês é preciso praticar, senão o perigo é dizer algo bem errado. Vamos as regras?
- Quando o adjetivos tem apenas uma sílaba:
Acrescente- ER no final da palavra para comparativos e -EST para superlativos.
EXEMPLOS:
Adj Comparativo Superlativo
tall taller tallest
old older oldest
long longer longest
Como usamos o comparativo entre duas coisas é preciso usar o THAN depois do adjetivo, e no superlativo usamos o artigoTHE antes do adjetivo:
Pen pal

Dear Paul,
How is Paul? My name is Ricardo Alves, I'm a student of the Arts College in UFG Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil. I'm in the last semester and I'm really tired right now with all this, studying has never been easier and this will not going to change today. But tell me, I saw your profile on FaceBook that you are studying at University College Dublin, called Trinity, how is about study there?
However, I always have time for other activities, because I work for myself and even with that spare time to do exercise. I'm always running in some park that stay near my house. And you, any exercise? Another curiosity, I saw some of his works of paintings frame in your profile, are yours?
Very good ....
I'm married, I have a beautiful wife, her name is Jeovana, she has a degree in history and she's already teaching.
I hope you write back. I would you like a pen pal from Dublin and in your college. I would
like to know all about Irish Culture.
Thanks
God Bless you :)
Sincerely,
Ricardo Alves.
___________________________________________________________
A penpal relationship is often used to practice reading and writing in a foreign language, to improve literacy, to learn more about other countries and life-styles, and to make friendships. As with any friendships in life, some people remain penpals for only a short time, while others continue to exchange letters and presents for life. Some penpals eventually arrange to meet face to face; sometimes leading to serious relationships, or even marriage.
