Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.83,0:00:19.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this lesson will covered all the exceptions to the rule.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.76,0:00:30.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, we gonna start with GOOD and BAD unlike the regular rules,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.90,0:00:34.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we don't say goode - goodest and badder - baddest.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.03,0:00:45.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We say GOOD and then the Comparative Adjective is BETTER.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.96,0:00:53.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the Superlative Adjective is BEST.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.37,0:00:57.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And just to review, so a Comparative Adjective = when you comparing two things.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:57.20,0:01:03.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the Superlative Adjective is = when you're comparing 3 or more people or things.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.06,0:01:26.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, let's do one example before we going to BAD.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.46,0:01:30.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.95,0:01:32.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My test score was good.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.28,0:01:35.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Mary's test score was better than mine. And,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.09,0:01:38.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,John's test score was the best in our class.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.96,0:01:41.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, BETTER is the Comparative Adjective,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.38,0:01:44.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because you're comparing your test score with Mary's test score.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.47,0:01:48.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you're comparing John's with the rest of the class.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.39,0:01:52.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that's 3 or more people's test scores.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.09,0:01:54.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So John's test score was the best.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.78,0:01:56.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So this is the Superlative Adjective (the best).
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.55,0:01:59.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, we don't say, gooder - goodest
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.25,0:02:02.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we say BETTER AND ---> BEST
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.26,0:02:21.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,OK
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.50,0:02:22.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.18,0:02:24.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,BAD.\N
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.10,0:02:25.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, maybe your test score wasn't so good.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.44,0:02:26.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,See, you say,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.74,0:02:32.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My test score was bad.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.76,0:02:35.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if Mary's test score was worse than yours.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.06,0:02:41.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You say, "Mary test score was worse than mine."
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.91,0:02:45.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And John got the lowest test score in the class
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.08,0:02:51.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You say, "John got the worst mark in our class."
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.36,0:03:03.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So BAD --> WORSE --> and WORST
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.80,0:03:08.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,OK. Let's do MANY. OK.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:08.71,0:03:14.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Instead of, say many - manier - maniest
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.04,0:03:22.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We say MANY --> MORE --> and MOST
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.72,0:03:27.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here's an example:
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.72,0:03:38.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Alright,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.25,0:03:40.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I studied for many hours.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.09,0:03:45.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Mary studied more than I did. And
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.58,0:03:48.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,John studied the most.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.54,0:03:50.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the Comparative Adjective is MORE.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.100,0:03:56.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the Superlative Adjective is MOST.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.41,0:04:18.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Alright. There're 2 more Adjectives that irregular.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.98,0:04:22.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One of them is NEW.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.27,0:04:28.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, when we have a 3 syllables err... a one syllable, 3 letter Adjective.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.51,0:04:31.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Usually, we ends it, consonant - vowel - consonant.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.43,0:04:33.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Usually, we double the last consonant.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.84,0:04:37.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then for the Comparative we added "+ER"
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.63,0:04:41.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And for the Superlative we add "+EST"
Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.07,0:04:42.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But in the case of NEW.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.85,0:04:46.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We do pronounce it NEWER and NEWEST.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.78,0:04:55.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But we don't double the last consonant.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:55.46,0:05:03.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, it's NEWER and NEWEST
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.87,0:05:05.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And just to show you the different between
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.42,0:05:07.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the Regular Adjective and Irregular Adjective.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:07.72,0:05:11.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We use the Adjective BIG.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:11.40,0:05:13.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, BIG is a one syllable Adjective.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.86,0:05:17.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,With 3 letters and it ends in consonant - vowel - consonant.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.47,0:05:19.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so for the Comparative,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.18,0:05:26.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we will double the last consonant. It's BIGGER.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:26.03,0:05:33.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And same as Superlative, we will double the last consonant, and then add +EST.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:33.38,0:05:38.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The reason NEW is an exception, is we don't double the double u (=W).
Dialogue: 0,0:05:38.47,0:05:56.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, it's pronounce the same way, but it spelling when you writing it. It's an exception.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:56.20,0:06:04.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The last Adjective, we gonna talk about the Adjective FAR.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:04.22,0:06:06.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, FAR is not a regular Adjective.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:06.80,0:06:07.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's an exception to the rule.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:07.94,0:06:09.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, we don't say FARER and FAREST.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:09.94,0:06:30.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We say FARTHER and FARTHEST.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:30.05,0:06:31.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:31.12,0:06:38.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,FAR --> FARTHER --> and FARTHEST.\N
Dialogue: 0,0:06:38.87,0:06:43.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Let's see some example.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:43.51,0:06:54.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I live far from work.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:54.35,0:07:07.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Mary lives farther (from work). And
Dialogue: 0,0:07:07.24,0:07:09.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,John lives the farthest (from work).
Dialogue: 0,0:07:09.53,0:07:13.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Mary lives farther.) << So, this is the Comparative Adjective comparing 2 or more things.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:13.04,0:07:23.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And comparing 3 or more people or things, as Superlative Adjective FARTHEST.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:33.83,0:07:40.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, today we come with the 5 exceptions to the Superlative and Comparative Adjective, Regular rules.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:40.85,0:07:46.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And they are GOOD, BAD, FAR, NEW and MANY.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:46.13,0:07:53.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can take a quiz to test your knowledge on Comparative and Superlative Adjectives on www.engvid.com
