ADJECTIVES
Some adjectives are formed by adding suffixes to certain verbs and nouns:
-ed, -ing, -ful, -less, -ous, -al, -able and -ive. To make the opposites we add
the prefixes: un-, dis-, im- or in-.

We write ‘___ is adj comparative than ___’ to compare things or people.
-If the adjective has two or more syllables, we add MORE/LESS before the
adjective
-If the adjective is monosyllabic, we add –ER
-If the adjective is monosyllabic and ends with –E, we add –R
-If the adjective is monosyllabic and ends with vowel+consonant, we
duplicate the consonant and add –ER
-If the adjective is monosyllabic and ends with consonant+Y, we change –Y
for –IER
-There are some irregular adjectives: good (better), bad (worse), far
(further)

We write ‘___ is the adj superlative (in the place)’ to show that a thing or
person is more superior than the others.
-If the adjective has two or more syllables, we add MOST before the
adjective
