The comparative superlative usage of adjective adverbs

The formation of comparative and superlative adjectives
1、 Rule change
1. Monosyllabic words and a few disyllabic words
(1) Generally speaking, adding - er at the end of the original level forms the comparative level, and adding - est forms the highest level, such as: high → higher → highest
(2) For words ending with E, add - R or - St. for example: large → large → large St
(3) For a word that stresses a closed syllable and has only one vowel and one consonant at the end, double the consonant and then add - er or - est, such as big → bigger → bigger
(4) For words ending with "consonant + Y", first change "Y" into "I", then add - er or - est. For example: happy → happy → happy
2. Most disyllabic words and all polysyllabic words
Add more before the original level to form the comparative level, and add most to form the highest level, such as: dangerous → more dangerous → the most dangerous
2、 Irregular change
There are some words whose comparative and superlative changes are irregular and need special memory
good / well→better→best
bad / ill→worse→worst
many / much→more→most
little→less→least
Far → farther → farther (distance) / far → farther → farther (degree)
Old → old / elder → old (old and new or old) / old (old and young relationship between brothers and sisters)
3、 For the comparative and superlative of some words, you can add - er or - est, or more or most, such as cleaver, polite, etc
4、 Some words have no comparative and superlative forms, such as right, wrong, full, empty, round, complete, wooden, dead, daily, etc
