Follow these basic rules in forming comparative and superlative with adverbs and adjectives.
Use the comparative degree when you are comparing two people, things, or actions.
Oranges are sweeter than apples.
Naomi sings more sweetly than Kate.
Use the superlative degree when you are comparing more than two. The superlative degree
puts the modified word over all the others in its group.
The strawberries are sweeter than the apples, but the oranges are sweetest of all.
Of all the members of the choir, Naomi sings most sweetly.
Most onesyllable and some twosyllable adjectives form the comparative and superlative
degrees by adding er or est: tall, taller, tallest; smart, smarter, smartest. The adjective's
final consonant is sometimes doubled: big, bigger, biggest; sad, sadder, saddest. A final y is
changed to i: dry, drier, driest; happy, happier, happiest. There are a few exceptions: good,
better, best; bad, worse, worst. If an adjective has two or more syllables, it usually forms the
comparative and superlative degrees with more and most: more intelligent, most intelligent;
more difficult, most difficult.
Most adverbs form the comparative and superlative forms with more and most: more slowly,
most slowly; more gracefully, most gracefully; more quickly, most quickly. There are a few
exceptions: hard, harder, hardest; fast, faster, fastest; soon, sooner, soonest.
Be careful not to double comparative degrees: funny, funnier (not more funnier) , funniest
(not most funniest). Do not use the er or est forms with more or most. Whenever you aren't
sure about how to form the comparative and superlative of a particular adjective or adverb,
check a dictionary.
