Last Rule and Tips

Rule 13: Comparative/superlative forms of words

Adjectives have inflections. That is, adjectives change in spelling according to how they are used in a sentence.

 

Adjectives have three forms: positive, comparative, and superlative.

 

The simplest form of the adjective is its positive form. When two objects or persons are being compared, the comparative form of the adjective is used. When three or more things are being compared, we use the adjective's superlative form.

 

Examples:    

brave, braver, bravest

happy, happier, happiest 

 

Note:   Words of more than two syllables form the comparative with more and most:

 

beautiful, more beautiful, most beautiful.

resonant, more resonant, most resonate

 

Last few reminders

•         Don't split infinitives (incorrect: "to slowly walk" correct "to walk slowly"
•         Don't use slang (chirp) or clichés (cold as ice)
•         Either goes with or; neither goes with nor
•         When referring to a country, don't use "they" 
  Example: The US is the richest country in the world. They have the highest GNP. (It has the highest GNP.)

My Major

Ever since I was a little kid I have been interested in art: Music, films, videos, painting and design stuff.

When I finished high school, I thought about studying Audiovisual Media, because as I thought, it had everything I wanted for my future. When I did the exam to enter that career, I couldn't get a spot in it, because there were a lot of people trying to get in. I searched more options, like Comunication in UVM. First, I was sad because I thought Comunication couldn't help me, but then I started looking for information about it and I decided to took that option. 

When I started my first semester in the career, I realized it had everything I wanted and even more that I didn't know I liked. I learned a lot of helpful things for my future.

Now that I'm here, I have new goals and plans. Everytime I'm at class, I look for a way that what I learn is helpful, and how can I use it with my plans.

Years ago I had different plans, so I couldn't know if the plans I got right now are going to be forever, but what I'm secure is that I like this industry that I'm in, and whatever I do in my life, I'd like to make it big.
