Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

More nervous is the correct form of the adjective. We are only comparing two things (this day versus the single collection of all other days combined) so we must use the comparative form of the adjective "nervous."
To make the comparative form of an adjective:
Add -er to the end of any one-syllable adjectives (large → larger).
For two-syllable adjectives ending in -y, change the -y to -i and add -er (angry → angrier).
If the adjective is two syllables and does not end in "-y" OR if the adjective has three or more syllables, use the form "more + adjective" (nervous → more nervous).
When we compare more than two things, we use the superlative form of an adjective. To make the superlative form of an adjective:
Add -est to the end of any one-syllable adjectives (hard → hardest)
For adjectives ending in -y, change the -y to -i and add -est (sticky → stickiest).
If the word is more than two syllables long and does not end in -y, use the form "most + adjective" (exciting → most exciting).
