S1 English: Comparatives and Superlatives (Paper 4: mistake clinic)
Paper four reworks the four weakest spots: spelling, double marking, irregular sets and percentages.
Direct answers Remember one line: mark a comparison once only, and the denominator is always the total.

03 Answers and one-line notes
| # | Answer | One-line note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Double the g and add -er, giving bigger | A short vowel before a single final consonant means the consonant doubles, the usual spelling trap. |
| 2 | Better is already comparative, so more cannot be added | Learn good, better, best as one set so the comparison is never marked twice. |
| 3 | 62.5 per cent | Five divided by eight, times one hundred, gives 62.5. |
| 4 | good, better, best | All three forms are irregular and cannot be built with -er or -est. |
| 5 | The object pronoun, as in than me | Formal writing may say than I am, while speech usually takes the object form. |
| 6 | The comparative | Two items take the comparative, and three or more take the superlative. |
| 7 | bad, and also ill | Bad and ill share the forms worse and worst. |
| 8 | 450 square kilometres | Comparing them one by one leaves 450 as the largest. |
| 9 | Very cannot modify a comparative, so much better is needed | Very modifies base adjectives only, while much, far and a lot modify comparatives. |
| 10 | This is the cheapest bag. | Cheap has one syllable, so -est alone is enough and most must be removed. |
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.
With all four done, go back to the chapter page and revise the three parts of a closed circuit plus three safety habits.Tutor Registration →
