    Comparative and Superlative adjectives

    A comparative adjective is used to compare two nouns.


    The suffix -er is often found at the end of a comparative adjective.
    Example: My book is longer than hers.
    That dog runs faster than Spot.
    A superlative adjective is used to compare three or more nouns. It
    describes the noun that is the most extreme.
    The suffix -est is often found at the end of a superlative adjective.
    Example: My book is the longest in the whole library.
    Of all the dogs at the park, that dog is the fastest.
    Rule Adjective Comparative Superlative
    If a word ends in a y, change it funny funnier funniest
    to an i and add -er or –est.
    Words with a CVC spelling big bigger biggest
    pattern should have the last
    letter doubled before adding the
    suffix -er or -est.
    If a word ends in an e, drop the large larger largest
    e before adding the suffix -er or
    -est.
    For words with more than two serious more most
    syllables, use the word more or serious serious
    less in front of the adjective to less least
    make the comparative form, serious serious
    and use most or least to make
    the superlative form.
