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.)

JESUS ALONSO GONZALEZ
What I learned in class today?
Today in classes I learn 5 rules.
The first one was subject and verb agreement which tells us that the subject and verb must agree in number.
The second rule is the Noun-Pronoun Agreement, which tells us that singular subjects take singular nouns and plural subjects take plural nouns.
The third rule that I learn today is the pronoun subjects and objects in which you must know when to use the words in the column on the left and when to use those on the right.
The fourth rule talks about the pronoun consistency
The fifth rule is the correct tense in which you have to make sure the action is consistence
And the last one adjectives describe a noun or pronoun and answer three questions What kind?, Which one?, How many?
EXAMPLES OF PRONOUNS
SUBJECTS
I
He
She
The
We
Who
OBJECTS
Me
Him
Her
Them
As
Whom
