Comparative And Superlative Rules

1. With regular one syllable adjectives, to make the comparative form we simply add -er, and to make the superlative form we add -est.  For example, fast – faster – fastest. 
2. With one and two syllable adjectives that end in -y, it is slightly different. To make the comparative form the y is dropped and -ier is added. To make the superlative form, the y is dropped and -iest is added.  For example, happy – happier – happiest. 
3. With adjectives that end with a single vowel followed by a single consonant, then the consonant is doubled and -er / -est is added. For example, big – bigger – biggest.
4. With 2 syllable adjectives that don’t end in -y, and all 3 or more syllable adjectives, we add more to make the comparative form, and most to make the superlative form. For example, beautiful – more beautiful – the most beautiful.

NOTE: there are irregular adjectives that do not follow these rules and so students need to memorize the comparative and superlative forms of irregular adjectives.
