| comment | In the test sentence ‘I would like to buy this flat because it's ________ than that.’ we have a marker ‘than’ that let us understand that the needed adjective is used in the comparative form.Comparative adjectives compare one person or thing with another and enable us to say whether a person or thing has more or less of a particular quality: Rebecca is taller than her older sister.In the test we are given different forms of one syllable adjective ‘large’ that ends in ‘e’: the largest,the most large, larger, more large. To form the comparative, we use the –er suffix with adjectives of one syllable: It’s hotter today than yesterday. According to the spelling rules, if one-syllable adjective ends in-e, we add -r: fine – finer, nice – nicer, etc. Therefore, we need to add –r to form the comparative form of the adjective ‘large’.Thus, we are to choose ANSWER 3: larger. |
