Adjectives: Comparisons 1 Complete the text below with the right forms of the adjectives in brackets. My favourite punk rocker is the 1 (weird) guy I know to date. In spite of this he is the 2 (popular) musician of his band. When you talk to him, he sounds 3 (bizarre) because he speaks with an odd accent. But when you listen closely to what he says he comes across much 4 (smart) than expected. In addition, the way he plays the electric bass is 5 (fascinating) because he plays with his left hand. In a way this is not as 6 (unusual) as you might think. A lot of the 7 (famous) guitar and bass players have played with their left hands. For me he is the 8 (good) bass player around. And in addition, his outfits are 9 (stylish). 2 Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
