What is the comparative of 'good'?

## The reasoning In English, we have **irregular comparatives** — words that don't follow the normal "-er" or "more" pattern. "Good" is one of the most common. The rule: - **Positive**: good - **Comparative**: better (comparing two things) - **Superlative**: best (the top among three or more) Example: "This pen is *good*, but that one is *better*." You're comparing two items, so you need the comparative form = **better**. ## Why the wrong options tempt you **A) gooder** — You might think "just add -er like 'taller' or 'faster'," but "good" doesn't follow that pattern. It's irregular. **B) more good** — This sounds logical (like "more beautiful"), but again, "good" is irregular. We don't say "more good." **D) best** — This is the *superlative* (for three or more), not comparative. If you're picking the *greatest* among many, you'd use "best." ## Quick takeaway **Good → Better → Best** — memorize this trio like your phone number; it's irregular, so no "-er" or "more" tricks apply.
