German A2Chapter 9 of 26

Comparative and Superlative

Compare cities, courses, apartments and everyday choices.

A2 learners often need to compare options: one city is cheaper, one course is better, one apartment is quieter. This chapter teaches comparative forms, superlative forms, common irregular comparisons and useful preference phrases for exams and real life in Germany.
