Notes for teachers

Start by reviewing the spelling rules (big → bigger, happy → happiest) and the difference between short and long adjectives before Exercise 1. Typical mistakes are double comparatives (more bigger), using 'that' or 'as' instead of 'than', forgetting 'the' before superlatives, and regularising irregular forms (gooder, baddest). As a follow-up, ask pairs to compare three cities, animals or films using at least five comparative and superlative sentences, including one question.
