What Are The Comparative And Superlative Forms Of The Word "Little" by Chenzee(m): 3:54pm On Apr 12, 2019
English can be so frustrating ooo...I am used to speaking the little English I know, but would sometimes want to impress some set of persons by garnishing it....

It's after blowing the grammar, that I will realize there is nothing like that..I just adopt and continue using in informal settings. Sometimes I speak them to save time.... At least they blend or fit in perfectly into my sentence.

1. Have you offed the light? ( have you turned off the light?)
2. I have onned my Bluetooth... ( I have turned on my Bluetooth)

Another one I blatantly use is "littlest" e.g

3. I use the littlest time I get in the office to pray.

So what is the past tense and past participle of "On and Off"
The comparative and superlative forms of "Little"

Little > less (comparative form ) > least (superlative form)
On / off to not have past tense forms.
Turn on / off > turned on/off ( past tense form)
The verb 'offed' means to kill intentionally or with premeditation.
