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,
