Why "worser" isn't a proper word: a linguistic explanation
Anwar Kareem 12/10/2024, 16:16English.me team member
What kind of error is it?
Grammatical error
Why do people make this mistake?
People might mistakenly assume that "worser" is the comparative form of "worse", similar to how "bigger" is the comparative form of "big".
What is correct?
The comparative form of "bad" is "worse". "Worse" is already a comparative form, so an additional suffix is unnecessary and incorrect.
Examples of correct usage
- This situation is worse than I expected.
- Her condition seems worse today than it was yesterday.
- The weather is getting worse as the day goes on.
