Someone help me plz, is with the endings -er, and -est...?

Question

My friend is asking me if is correct to use the word "fasters, strongers", I know that is faster, stronger, but no with the "s" at the ending, thanks!

Answer 1

No, you're right. These words are called adjectives and -er and -est describe degrees of the adjective. Sometimes you could say "more + word" or "most + word" but the majority sound better with the suffixes -er and -est.

Answer 2

you don't use the s at the end

Answer 3

ask yourself, what will you achieve if you add "s"?

:P

is it required by any grammar rule?

have you seen such word in any text?

if no, then why do you make your life harder than it is?

:D

Answer 4

fast - faster - fastest; strong - stronger - strongest

maybe your friend thought fastest is spelled fasters bcs it sounds similar

Answer 5

Definitely, no "s" at the end of comparative adjectives!

If your friend is a Spanish speaker, this may be the reason for the confusion, since in Spanish you would add the "s" to those adjectives.

Answer 6

The endings  of adjectives in English NEVER change to either feminine or plural.

-er denotes an an adjective in the comparative mode (more than): better, stronger, larger etc...

-est denotes an adjective  in the superlative mode (the most): largest, greatest, biggest etc...

so one does not add an "s" for the plural.

You are correct and your friend is mistaken.

Answer 7

no u don t put "s" on the end of those word.. just use strongest and fastest!
