The document provides rules for comparing adjectives in English. It explains that to compare two things, add "-er" to the adjective, and to compare three or more things, add "-est". It then lists six specific rules for forming comparisons for different types of adjectives based on their spelling and syllable count, such as adding "-er"/"-est" directly to one-syllable adjectives, changing the final "y" to "i" and adding endings for adjectives ending in "y", and using "more"/"most" instead of endings for adjectives with two or more syllables. The document concludes by instructing students to practice the rules by answering questions and completing an exercise
