6. Comparative & superlative of adjective
 The comparative form of an adjective is used for
comparing two people or things (e.g. he is taller than
me), while the superlative is used for comparing one
person or thing with every other member of their group
(e.g. he was the tallest boy in the class).
 Adjectives make their comparative and superlative forms
in different ways, depending on the base adjective itself.
Here’s a quick-reference guide to the spelling of
comparative and superlative adjectives:

7. One-syllable adjectives.
Form the comparative and superlative forms of a one-syllable adjective by adding –er for the
comparative form and –est for the superlative.
One-Syllable Adjective Comparative Form Superlative Form
tall taller tallest
old older oldest
long longer longest
Two-syllable adjectives.
With most two-syllable adjectives, you form the comparative with more and
the superlative with most.

8. Two-Syllable Adjective Comparative Form Superlative Form
peaceful more peaceful most peaceful
pleasant more pleasant most pleasant
careful more careful most careful
thoughtful more thoughtful most thoughtful
If the two-syllable adjectives ends with –y, change the y to i and add –er for
the comparative form. For the superlative form change the y to i and add –
est.
Two-Syllable Adjective
Ending with -y
Comparative Form Superlative Form
happy happier happiest
angry angrier angriest
busy busier busiest

9. Irregular adjectives
Irregular Adjective Comparative Form Superlative Form
good better best
bad worse worst
far farther farthest
little less least
many more most
If the one-syllable adjective ends with a single consonant with a vowel before it,
double the consonant and add –er for the comparative form; and double the
consonant and add –est for the superlative form.
