Formation of Comparatives
- Short adjectives (1 syllable): adjective + -er + than. Ex: tall → taller than. My brother is taller than me.
- Adjectives ending in -e: add -r. Ex: large → larger.
- Adjectives ending consonant + y: change y to i + -er. Ex: happy → happier.
- Long adjectives (2+ syllables): more + adjective + than. Ex: beautiful → more beautiful than.
Formation of Superlatives
- Short adjectives: the + adjective + -est. Ex: tall → the tallest. He is the tallest student.
- Long adjectives: the most + adjective. Ex: beautiful → the most beautiful.
Irregular Forms
- good → better (comparative) → the best (superlative)
- bad → worse → the worst
- far → farther/further → the farthest/furthest
- little → less → the least
- many/much → more → the most
Exceptions and Special Cases
