While using an adjective in a comparative way; 1- We usually bring “-er” to the end of a short (one syllable) adjective.

e.g. ; short short-er tall tall-er small small-er big big-ger

2- On the other hand; we use “more” in front of the long (at least two syllable) adjectives to make them comparative form.

e.g. beautiful more beautiful handsome more handsome

Beautiful

more beautiful

There are some irregular (problem) adjectives in English! But don’t worry! They are not too many!

e.g. good better bad worse far further

While using an adjective in a superlative way 1- In short Adjectives; we bring “the” in front of the adjective and “-est” at the end of the adjective.

e.g. ; old the oldest short the shortest tall the tallest

The biggest cat in the World.

2- In long adjectives; we bring “the most” in front of the adjective.

dangerous? No!!!

Valuable? maybe!

Of course there are problem superlative forms like;
