SOME RULES ABOUT FORMING COMPARATIVES
AND SUPERLATIVES
 One syllable adjectives generally form the
comparative by adding -er and the superlative by
adding -est, e.g.:
Adjective Comparative Superlative
Soft
Softer
The softest
Cheap
Cheaper
The cheapest
Sweet
Sweeter
The sweetest
Thin
Thinner
The thinnest
SPELLING RULES
 Note that if a one syllable adjective ends in a single vowel
letter followed by a single consonant letter, the consonant
letter is doubled, e.g.: thin → thinner, big → biggest.
 If an adjective ends in -e, this is removed when adding -
er/-est, e.g.: wide → wider/widest.
 If an adjective ends in a consonant followed by -y, -y is
replaced by -i when adding -er/-est, e.g.: dry →
drier/driest.
TWO SYLLABLE ADJECTIVES
 two syllable adjectives which end in -y usually form
the comparative by adding -er and the superlative by
adding -est, (note the change of -y to -i in the
comparative/superlative) e.g.:
Adjective
Comparative
superlative
Lucky
luckier
The luckiest
Pretty
Prettier
The prettiest
Tidy
Tidier
The tidiest
TWO SYLLABLE ADJECTIVES
 two syllable adjectives ending in -ed, -ing, ful, or -less always form the comparative
with more and the superlative with the
most, e.g.:
Adjective
Comparative
superlative
Worried
More worried
The most worried
Boring
More boring
The most boring
Careful
More careful
The most careful
Useless
More useless
The most useless
THREE SYLLABLE ADJECTIVES
 Adjectives which have three or more syllables always
form the comparative and superlative with MORE and
THE MOST, e.g.:
Adjective
Comparative
Superlative
Dangerous
More dangerous
The most dangerous
Difficult
More difficult
The most difficult
 The only exceptions are some three syllable adjectives which have been
formed by adding the prefix -un to another adjective, especially those
formed from an adjective ending in -y. These adjectives can form
comparatives and superlatives by using more/most or adding -er/-est, e.g.:
unhappy – unhappier – the unhappiest/ the most unhappy
