    Comparative or superlative



    We add -est to one-syllable adjectives to make the superlative form .

    eg cold¨ colder¨coldest.

     

    If a one or two-syllable adjective ends in -y, we change the y to an i before adding -est .

    eg sunny¨sunnier¨sunniest

     

    If an adjective ends in -e, we just add -st.

    eg large¨larger¨largest

     

    If a one-syllable adjective ends in a vowel + one consonant, we double the final consonant before adding -est.

    eg wet¨wetter¨wettest

     

    For most adjectives that have two syllables or more, we add most before the adjective.

    eg expensive¨more expensive¨most expensive

     

    Some adjectives are irregular.

    eg bad¨worse¨worst, 

        good¨better¨best
