     • 1. In English, most adjectives are added an er 'at the end to form the comparative and' est 'to form the superlative. 2. If the adjective ends in ‘e’, only one ‘r’ is added for the comparative and 'st' for the superlative 3. Some adjectives that end in consonant, duplicate the final consonant to form the comparative and the superlative 4. When the adjective ends in ‘and’, the ‘and’ is changed to an ‘i’ and the ‘er’ is added at the end to form the comparative and 'est' to form the superlative, 5. Some adjectives, however, do not have a different form for the comparative or the superlative, and you must use ‘more’ and ‘most’ to form them. In general they are adjectives that have more than two syllables or end in ‘ful’, ‘ing’, ‘ous’, ‘ive’, ‘ish’, ‘al’, ‘able’ and ‘ed’. 6.
