Using comparatives and superlatives is essential for describing differences in cost, especially when discussing money and prices in English. In this video, we focus on terms related to affordability and expense, helping you express financial comparisons more clearly and accurately.

The first set of words, "Cheap / Cheaper / Cheapest", helps you describe varying levels of low cost. "Cheap" is the base adjective, used to describe something that costs little money. The comparative form, "cheaper", is used to compare two items to determine which one is less expensive. For example, "This shirt is cheaper than the other one". The superlative form, "cheapest", indicates the lowest cost among a group of items. For instance, "This store has the cheapest prices in town".

The second set, "Expensive / More Expensive / The Most Expensive", is used to describe varying degrees of high cost. "Expensive" is the base adjective, referring to something that costs a lot of money. The comparative form, "more expensive", is used when comparing two items to indicate which one costs more. For example, "The new model is more expensive than the old one". The superlative form, "the most expensive", is used to describe the item with the highest cost within a group, such as "That is the most expensive car in the showroom".
