03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | taller | Two people compared take the comparative, so tall adds er. |
| 2 | heavier | Heavy drops y before ier. |
| 3 | highest | Covering the whole range needs the superlative highest. |
| 4 | more expensive | Expensive has three syllables, so it takes more. |
| 5 | worst | Bad has the irregular superlative worst. |
| 6 | better | Good has the irregular comparative better. |
| 7 | most carefully | An adverb describing a verb takes most for the superlative. |
| 8 | colder and colder | A change that keeps growing repeats the comparative with and. |
| 9 | less | Less is the comparative of little and means not as much. |
| 10 | This dress is the cheapest in the shop. | Most and est never combine; keep one superlative marker only. |
04 What to do after marking
- After marking, redo only the wrong items and write down which step went wrong (formula, unit, or misread number).
- Repeat the same item two days later; move to the next paper only when both attempts are correct.
- Parents only need the answer and note columns; there is no need to explain every item.
