This document discusses how to form comparatives and superlatives in English. It provides rules for forming comparatives and superlatives depending on the number of syllables in the adjective and whether it ends in a consonant or vowel. For one-syllable adjectives, the suffixes "-er" and "-est" are typically added. For two-syllable adjectives ending in "-y", the "-y" is removed before adding "-er" or "-est". Adjectives of two or more syllables are made comparative by adding "more" and superlative by adding "the most". Examples are given to illustrate the rules. Common exceptions like "good" and "bad" are also noted.
