person / thing with another with more than one person / thing of the same group

comparatives and superlatives long - longer - the longest

If an adjective ends in –e, we add –r or –st nice - nicer - the nicest

If an adjective ends in a vowel and a consonant, we double big - bigger - the biggest
the consonant fat - fatter - the fattest

If an adjective ends in a consonant and –y, we change –y to –i happy - happier - the happiest
and add –er or –est silly - sillier - the silliest

We use more and most to make comparatives and careful - more careful - most careful
superlatives for most two or more syllables in adjectives interesting - more interesting - most interesting

However, with these common two-syllable adjectives, you can common, cruel, gentle, handsome, likely, narrow, pleasant, polite, simple, stupid
either add –er/–r and –est/–st or use more and most f.e.: He is certainly handsomer / more handsome than his brother.

good - better - the best; bad - worse - the worst


The adjectives that have irregular comparatives and
many/much - more - the most; little - less - the least
superlatives
far - farther/further - the farthest/furthest
