-sympathy
-reckon
-airline
-horrible
-anxiety
-anxious
-possession

GRAMMAR AND EXPLANATION:
Comparatives and superlatives of adjectives, participles and adverbs
1. Most adjectives of two syllables which have the stress on the first syllable form their comparatives and superlatives by adding "-er" and "-est". For example, "clever - cleverer - cleverest" and "simple - simpler - simplest".
2. However, adjectives ending in "-ful" or "-less" form their comparatives and superlatives by using "more than" and "the most". For example, "helpful - more helpful - the most helpful" and "careless - more careless - the most careless".
3. Some adjectives are made from the participles of verbs. For example, "a surprising result" or "an interested child". These adjectives form their comparatives and superlatives by using "more than" and "the most". For example, "boring - more boring - the most boring" and "pleased - more pleased - the most pleased".
4. There are some exceptions to these rules, but if you are not sure how to form the comparative and superlative of an adjective, it is best to use more than" and "the most".
5. Adverbs that are made by adding "-ly" to an adjective form their comparatives arid superlatives by using "more than" and "the most". For example, "carefully - more carefully - the most carefully".

SENTENCE STRUCTURED:
-We form the comparatives and superlatives of adjectives made from the participles of verbs by using "more than" and "the most".
-If you are not sure how to form the comparative and superlative of an adjective, it's best to use "more than" and "the most".
-We form the comparatives and superlatives of adverbs that are made by adding "-ly" to an adjective by using "more than" and "the most".

-I'm happy that my cats are healthy.
-Sometimes they are fighting, but I think it's normal. 

GRAMMAR QUESTIONS:
1. When the past tense of a regular verb ends in ''ded'' or ''ted'', we pronounce the final sound ''id'' /Id/. For example,''decided'', ''lasted'' etc.
2. When the past tense of a regular verb doesn't end in ''ded'' or ''ted'', we pronounce the final sound ''t'' /t/ or ''d'' /d/. For example, crossed, helped etc.
3. The difference between ''a few'' and ''few'' is that ''a few'' simply means ''not many'', whereas ''few'' often expresses the idea of ''not enough'' or ''fewer than expected''.
4. The difference between ''a little'' and ''little'' is that ''a little'' simply means ''not much'', whereas ''little'' often expresses the idea of ''not enough'' or ''less than expected''.
5. We use the words ''used to'', for a habit or repeated action in the past, especially when the action is now finished. For example, I used to play basketball when I was a junior high school student.
6. The difference between ''We're going to go to the theatre'' and ''We're going to the theatre'' is that ''We're going to go to the theatre'' communicates that it is our intention to go, whereas ''We're going to go to the theatre'' communicates that the visit has already been arranged; we already have the tickets, for example.
7. We make the question form in English by putting the subject after the first auxiliary verb.
8. For the present simple and past simple, we use the auxiliary verb ''do'' in the question form. For example, Do you want some tea?

  2. When a noun or verb ends in a consonant plus "y", the "y" is changed to "i" and then the letters "es" are added. For example, "one lady - two ladies"; fry-fries
  3. We generally form the plural of a noun ending in "f" or "fe" by changing the "f" or "fe" to "ves". For example, "leaf - leaves".
  4. Three common exceptions to this rule are "chefs", "cliffs', and "roofs".
  5. We use the present simple to speak about a future action when we are talking about timetables or schedules. For example. "The movie will start at 10 pm".
  6. We use the relative pronoun "what" when we don't mention the thing that the relative clause describes.For example,"I like what you bought yesterday."
  7. Some people prefer to use the relative pronoun "whom" instead of "who" with formal English, when the relative pronoun ¡s not the subject of the verb that follows.For example, I know the man whom she's talking to.
  8. No, when we have a preposition at the beginning of a relative clause, we cannot follow the preposition with "who"; we must use "whom". For example,"I know the man to whom she's talking.
