In English we use -er and
-est with short adjectives when we want to compare something.
But adjectives ,, good,, and
,,bad,, are different.
Walking is good for
you. The weather in England
is bad.
Jogging is better than walking.
The weather in Alaska is worse.
Running is the
best. The weather in the
Artic is the worst.
REMEMBER:
good - better - the best
Bad - worse - the worst
