Key Concepts:
- For adjectives with one syllable generally add -er for comparative and -est for superlative forms.
- For adjectives with more than one syllable (usually two or more syllables), use more for comparative and most for superlative forms.
- Irregular adjectives sometimes do not follow this pattern.
Pro Tip: Pay attention to the number of syllables to choose either suffix forms or “more/most” structures.

EXPLANATION:
- Comparative forms compare two things; short adjectives usually take -er (e.g., faster, heavier, wilder).
- Superlative forms compare one against all; short adjectives usually take -est (e.g., fastest, heaviest, wildest).
- Longer adjectives (two or more syllables) usually use more/most for comparative and superlative (e.g., more dangerous / most dangerous, more beautiful / most beautiful, more enormous / most enormous).
KEY CONCEPTS:
- -er / -est: used for most one-syllable adjectives (and some two-syllable adjectives).
- more / most: used for adjectives with two or more syllables (especially three or more).
