On your paper, write the comparative and superlative degrees of the following modifiers. If the degrees can be formed in two ways, write the -er and -est forms.

1. high
2. friendly
3. fully
4. low
5. steep
6. painful
7. early
8. small
9. brisk
10. near

My answers are the following:
1. higher; highest
2. friendlier; friendliest
3. more fully; most fully
4. lower; lowest
5. steeper; steepest
6. more painful; most painful
7. earlier; earliest
8. smaller; smallest
9. brisker; briskest, more brisk; most brisk
10. nearer; nearest

All are correct. :-)

Your answers are mostly correct. Here are the correct comparative and superlative degrees for each modifier:

1. high - higher; highest
2. friendly - friendlier; friendliest
3. fully - more fully; most fully
4. low - lower; lowest
5. steep - steeper; steepest
6. painful - more painful; most painful
7. early - earlier; earliest
8. small - smaller; smallest
9. brisk - brisker; briskest (or more brisk; most brisk)
10. near - nearer; nearest

It's important to note that for some words, you can form the comparative and superlative degrees using the "-er" and "-est" endings, like in "higher" and "highest." However, for other words, you need to use "more" and "most" to form the degrees, like in "more fully" and "most fully." Additionally, "brisk" can be formed in both ways - "brisker" and "briskest" or "more brisk" and "most brisk" - so both options are correct. The same goes for "near" - you can use "nearer" and "nearest" or "more near" and "most near", but "near" is more commonly used with the "er" and "est" endings.
