Two cups of coffee are compared. The proper comparative adjective form is "hotter".
Comparative and superlative
If you've ever doubled up — more better, the most cleverest — you've felt the most common comparative mistake. The fix is small but immediate: every adjective gets one comparative pattern, never both. Once you internalise which words use -er/-est and which use more/most, comparing things stops being a guess.
The comparative form compares two things (taller, more polite); the superlative picks the extreme of three or more (the tallest, the most polite). Short adjectives typically take -er/-est; longer ones use more/most. A small set are irregular: good → better → best, bad → worse → worst.
Adjective
If you've ever written a French nice old wooden table and felt something was wrong without knowing why, you've hit the adjective-order rule. English insists on a particular sequence — opinion, size, age, shape, colour, origin, material — and rearranging the words makes a sentence sound non-native even when every individual choice is correct.
An adjective describes a noun or pronoun: a tall building, the soup is hot. Most adjectives also take comparative and superlative forms (taller, tallest), which is how you compare things — another core piece you need from day one.
B1 | Intermediate
If you can hold a conversation about your weekend, explain why you're late, and follow a short news story without panicking — but still feel lost in fast or technical English — you're probably operating at B1. Knowing this matters: study material at the wrong level either bores you or burns you out, and B1 is the typical target for travel, casual work, and most everyday social English.
B1 is the intermediate level in the CEFR framework, where you handle everyday English independently and start combining ideas with complex sentences, passive voice, and modal verbs.
Difficulty: Medium
If easy questions feel too obvious but hard questions leave you guessing, you're probably ready for Medium — the level where most real learning happens. It pushes just enough to expose the rules you don't quite have yet, without burying you in edge cases. This is where steady fluency is built, one well-aimed challenge at a time.
The Medium difficulty tag marks middle-range challenges — typically A2 to B1. One rule per question, realistic distractors, and contexts that require active thought rather than instant recognition.
