This quiz informs students about verb meanings and the differences between closely-related verbs. It also introduces them to adjectives differing in intensity, such as large and gigantic. Yet another feather in the English and literacy cap!

If you are faster than someone, then you are faster than only one person. If you are the fastest, then you are faster than lots of people. By adding ‘er’ and ‘est’ to adjectives (describing words) we are adding more information to our writing.
