This document discusses how to form comparatives and superlatives in English. It explains that comparatives compare two things using suffixes like -er or more. Superlatives refer to one thing being the best or worst within a group using suffixes like -est or most. Adjectives are divided into categories based on their syllables, and different rules are provided for forming comparatives and superlatives for 1-2 syllable adjectives versus those with 3 or more syllables. Examples are given to illustrate each rule.
