We use comparatives to compare two people, things, or places. We use superlatives to compare three or more.
In this lesson, we use them to talk about fashion and Formula 1.
1) Comparative form
Short adjectives
For most short adjectives, add -er:
fast → faster
bright → brighter
stylish → more stylish? No — stylish is a longer adjective, so we use more stylish.
Structure:
subject + be + comparative adjective + than + noun/pronoun
Long adjectives
For longer adjectives, use more + adjective:
comfortable → more comfortable
expensive → more expensive
fashionable → more fashionable
Examples
This team jacket is more stylish than last season’s one.
The new race suit is safer than the old design.
These shoes are more comfortable than my trainers.
The red helmet looks brighter than the black one.
2) Superlative form
We use superlatives to say something is number one in a group.
Short adjectives
Add -est:
fast → fastest
bright → brightest
cheap → cheapest
Long adjectives
Use the most + adjective:
comfortable → the most comfortable
expensive → the most expensive
stylish → the most stylish
Structure:
subject + be + the + superlative adjective + in/of + group
Examples
Lewis’s helmet design is the brightest in the paddock.
This limited-edition cap is the most expensive item in the shop.
That outfit is the most stylish of all the fan looks.
The podium celebration was the most exciting moment of the race.
3) Irregular forms
Some adjectives are irregular:
good → better → best
bad → worse → worst
far → farther/further → farthest/furthest
Examples
This sponsor logo looks better than the old one.
The new team kit is the best in the pit lane.
The old design was worse than the new one.
4) Common adjectives in this lesson
stylish → more stylish / the most stylish
comfortable → more comfortable / the most comfortable
expensive → more expensive / the most expensive
bright → brighter / the brightest
good → better / the best
fast → faster / the fastest
5) Common mistakes
Mistake 1: Using more with short adjectives
❌ This car is more fast than that one.
✅ This car is faster than that one.
Mistake 2: Forgetting the with superlatives
❌ This is most stylish jacket.
✅ This is the most stylish jacket.
Mistake 3: Forgetting than in comparatives
❌ The new outfit is more stylish the old one.
✅ The new outfit is more stylish than the old one.
Mistake 4: Using the wrong irregular form
❌ This cap is gooder than that one.
✅ This cap is better than that one.
6) Quick summary
Use comparatives for two things: faster, more stylish, better
Use superlatives for three or more: fastest, the most stylish, the best
Use than with comparatives
Use the with superlatives

Formula 1 is not only about speed. It is also about image, style, and brand identity. At many races, fans wear team shirts, caps, and jackets to show support. Drivers and team members also wear clothing with sponsor logos, so the team looks professional and easy to recognise.
Fashion is important because it helps create a strong brand image. A stylish race suit, a modern team kit, or a limited-edition cap can make a team look more exciting. Fans often buy merchandise because they want to feel part of the sport and support their favourite driver. Some items are practical, but others are mainly about style.
Today, F1 fashion is often more fashionable than before. Luxury brands work with teams, and streetwear is popular in the paddock. For many people, the event is more than a race — it is also a place to see trends, take photos, and enjoy the atmosphere.
Grammar note: Comparatives and superlatives
We use comparatives to compare two things and superlatives to compare one thing with a group.
This jacket is more stylish than that one.
This cap is cheaper than the limited-edition version.
The new team kit is the most modern in the paddock.
That helmet design is the brightest of all.
Common mistake
Do not say "more better" or "stylisher". Use better or more stylish.
Quick question
Do you think Formula 1 is more about sport or style? Why?
