To compare the ages, we need to use the comparative form of the adjective "old." Since we are comparing between two people, we use the word "older" to show that someone is of a more advanced age. So, the question should be: "Is your best friend older than you, or younger?"
2. Who is the funniest person in your family? (funny)
To find out who is the funniest person in the family, we need to use the superlative form of the adjective "funny." We use the word "the" before the superlative form to indicate that someone or something is the most of a certain characteristic. So, the question should be: "Who is the funniest person in your family?"
3. What is the most beautiful place in your country? (beautiful)
To identify the most beautiful place in the country, we need to use the superlative form of the adjective "beautiful." Again, we use the word "the" before the superlative form. So, the question should be: "What is the most beautiful place in your country?"
4. Do you think films are better than books? (good)
To compare the quality of films and books, we need to use the comparative form of the adjective "good." Since we are comparing two things, we use the word "better" to show that one thing is of higher quality than another. So, the question should be: "Do you think films are better than books?"
5. What do you think is the worst day of the week? (bad)
To identify the worst day of the week, we need to use the superlative form of the adjective "bad." Again, we use the word "the" before the superlative form. So, the question should be: "What do you think is the worst day of the week?"
6. Is Maths homework more difficult than English homework? (difficult)
To compare the level of difficulty between Maths homework and English homework, we need to use the comparative form of the adjective "difficult." Since we are comparing two things, we use the word "more" before the comparative form to show that one thing is more difficult than another. So, the question should be: "Is Maths homework more difficult than English homework?"
