Soluções para a tarefa
Bom dia, vamos começar!
Não sou nenhum professor mas vou tentar te ajudar, caso identifique alguma informação errada ou fique com dúvidas é comentar.
Basicamente, você vai identificar o comparativo quando encontrar dois substantivos de mesma classificação, como duas frutas ou dois animais, e superlativo quando este substantivo estiver acompanhado somente do adjetivo.
Para o comparativo há dois casos:
O caso do adjetivo grande (com mais de 5 letras) - em que será coloca "more" antes do adjetivo e adicionando "than" logo depois:
1 - My sister is more intelligent than my brother.
E o caso do adjetivo pequeno (com até 5 letras) - em que será utilizada a mesma regra do "than" depois do adjetivo, além da modificação do adjetivo finalizado com "er"
3 - Iceland is colder than Spain.
Para os superlativos há dois casos:
Utilizar "the" antes do adjetivo e modificar este finalizando com "est"
2 - The blue whale is the biggest animal.
E o caso do adjetivo grande em que se usa "the most" antes do adjetivo sem modificações:
28 - It's the most expensive hotel in Swiss.
Agora vamos para os outros exercícios:
4 - This is the worst book I've ever read. (Atenção que algumas palavras como "good" e "bad" terão modificações um pouco mais drásticas)
5 - My neighbour is the luckiest person I know.
6 - Friday is the busiest day of the week.
7 - These trainers are much cheaper than those.
8 - Frank works harder than most people.
9 - I'm better at English than you. (Cuidado com a posição do "than")
10 - Today has been the hottest day of the year. (Hot é composto por Consoante Vogal Consoante, então sua última letra será dobrada)
