WHAT A WEEKEND!
Loreta P. Santos

The best day to wait is every Friday.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday,
Too busy days bounded with module-work.
Telling myself, "Hey, I'm ready to work!"
It seems like busy as a bee
Trying to have less stress as I can be!

When my Friday night is better to come,

I even think how it would become.
I will list down my fewer tasks on weekend,
Until finally met all at the end!
Spending my two days to the fullest,
Saturdays and Sundays, at their best!

 What does the poem all about? What are the italicized words?

The italicized words are examples of irregular adjectives which are also
used in describing nouns and pronouns.

A small number of adjectives are irregular in the way they make

comparative and superlative forms.

The normal (regular) way to make comparative and superlative adjectives is

to add -er/-est or use more/most, like this:
big bigge bigge
e e i e ee e i e expensive

Irregular adjectives use completely different forms. Note, however, that

some adjectives can be both regular and irregular, sometimes with a slight change
in meaning. The most important irregular adjectives are listed in the table below.

Adjective Comparative Superlative Example sentence

Good better the best irregular Tara is the best athlete in the
school.

well (healthy) better the best He is still in the hospital, but he

is better than he was last week.

Bad worse the worst irregular You are the worst driver I have
ever known.

Far further the furthest irregular My house is the furthest one.

farther the farthest regular My house is the farther one.

8
 Adjective Comparative Superlative Example sentence

old (people in elder the eldest irregular Ram is my elder brother.

a family)

old (general older the oldest regular Your teacher is older than my
use) teacher

Every adjective has three degrees of its own. They are positive,
comparative, and superlative degrees.

The positive degree makes no comparison.

The comparative degree compares two people, things, activities, or

qualities.

The superlative degree compares a person, thing, activity, or quality with

the group.

How to Use Comparative and Superlative Irregular Adjectives

The word a is used after irregular adjectives in the comparative degree.

Examples: Amelia is a better singer than Marie.

Her dancing is worse than her singing.

He has less experience than the other singers.

Superlative irregular adjectives are typically accompanied by the word e.

Examples: Celine is the best singer in the competition.

He is the worst actor according to the director.

He has the least teaching experience among the applicants.
