=== Our Holiday ===
<div class="lueckentext-quiz" lang="en">
1. Use a comparative or superlative form of the  adjectivs in brackets. Don't forget: &ldquo;as &hellip; as&rdquo;, &ldquo;&hellip; than&rdquo; or &ldquo;the &hellip;&rdquo;!


"My dog is <span style="font-weight:bold;">nicer</span> than yours!"
`Well, this  summer we went to the USA. I think it's one of the <em> most interesting (interesting) </em> countries in the world.


"My dog is the <span style="font-weight:bold;">nicest</span> of all pets!"
In New York City we saw some of <em> the tallest (tall) </em>buildings in the world and we also drove through some of the <em> most dangerous (dangerous)</em> parts of the city. New York is <em> bigger (big) </em>, <em>more beautiful(beautiful) </em> and in some places <em> more dangerous (dangerous) </em> than any other city.


"My dog is <span style="font-weight:bold;">more interesting</span> than fish in an aquarium."
I like it, but I  wouldn't like to live there. The traffic is <em> worse than (bad)</em> in Germany.


"Fish are <span style="font-weight:bold;">less complicated</span> than dogs or cats."
After three days we left New York and went to California, where we visited some National Parks.  In Sequoia Park we saw the <em> oldest (old) </em> and <em> tallest (tall) </em> trees in the world.
Some of them are <em> taller than (tall) </em> 350 feet, and they  are <em> more than (much) </em> 3,000 years old. It was the <em> most wonderful (wonderful) </em> holiday I've ever had.'

Die Steigerung von Adjektiven ist relativ einfach.
2. Complete the text.


Kurze Adjektive (einsilbig und auf -y, -er endend) werden mit '''-er''' und '''-est''' gesteigert.
Mr Loud from San Francisco and Mr Bigmouth from New York start to talk about their hometowns.  


Bei [[#mehrsilbige Adjektiv|längeren Adjektiven]] wird '''more''' und '''most''' vorgestellt.
Mr B: New York is the <em> greatest (great)</em>. It's not only <em> the biggest (big)</em> U .S. city,

Mr L: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To hell with your skyscrapers! Even New  Yorkers come to us because San Francisco is a much <em> friendlier (friendly) </em> city than their own ...  
Die Grundform eines Adjektivs wird '''Positiv''' genannt. Sie dient für Vergleiche, wenn etwas gleichgroß oder nicht größer ist:  
</div>
 
The boy is <span style="font-size:1.5em;font-weight:bold; color: blue;">as</span> tall <span style="font-size:1.5em;font-weight:bold; color: blue;">as</span> his brother.
 
The boy isn't <span style="font-size:1.5em;font-weight:bold; color: blue;">as</span> tall <span style="font-size:1.5em;font-weight:bold; color: blue;">as</span> his father.
 
<span style="font-size:1.5em;font-weight:bold; color: blue;">as &hellip; as</span>
 
 
Der '''Komparativ''' wird zum direkten Vergleich verwendet:
 
The boy is smaller <span style="font-size:1.5em;font-weight:bold; color: blue;">than</span> his father.
 
The book is more exciting <span style="font-size:1.5em;font-weight:bold; color: blue;">than</span> the film.
 
 
Der '''Superlativ''' ist der höchste Steigerungsgrad der Eigenschaftswörter.
 
This is <span style="font-size:1.5em;font-weight:bold; color: blue;">the</span> most interesting film.
 
This is <span style="font-size:1.5em;font-weight:bold; color: blue;">the</span> funniest film.
