What are the rules for forming the comparative and superlative form of:

one syllable adjectives? Add -r for comparative form and add -st for superlative form

two syllable adjectives ending in - y? Change Y to I, then add -er for comparative form and change Y to I, then add -est for superlative form

adjectives of two syllables or more (not ending in - y)? Use more before the adjective for comparative form and use most before the adjective for superlative form

Which of the adjectives is irregular?

the adjective best (comparative of "good") is irregular.

Can you think of other irregular adjectives?

What is the rule for one syllable adjectives that end consonant + vowel + consonant, for example big- bigger than- biggest?

add -er for the comparative form and add -est for the superlative form, and duplicate the last consonant of the adjective, for example: fat * fatter * fattest
