• Welcome!




    Hello and welcome to my blog. Here you'll find there are many ways to navigate through the postings. Try the new tag cloud below; or search by a key word (top right); or you can just follow the links at the top and bottom of every posting. For example, clicking on 'resources' in the tag cloud will give you all the downloads on this site.

    Clicking on the title of any posting will give you a feedback form for any comments that you'd care to leave and it will also expand the posting to its full form.

    Oh, and there's always the guestbook ;) [the link on the tab the top]

    I hope you enjoy the blog and find something useful, informative or entertaining.

    Andrew :)

Beautifuler and gorgeousest

Posted on May 19, 2007 by Andrew

SuperlativeSo why is that title wrong? What is the rule for making comparatives and superlatives in English? When do we use ‘er/est’ and when ‘more/most’ to form these words?

The resource below promotes an investigative approach to this grammatical question. If you download it you will find a set of cards and a sheet which will lead your students to discovering the answer.

Try it and you’ll never see “beautifuler” in your students’ work again!
