```plaintext • Subtopic: Comparative Adjectives Tom and John are examples of short words. For one-syllable adjectives, we add "-er" to form the comparative. For example: - Taller -> Taller - Older -> Older For adjectives ending in "y," we change the "y" to "i" and add "-er": - Easy -> Easier - Heavy -> Heavier Long words, typically with 2, 3, or 4 syllables, use "more" for the comparative form. Impersonal adjectives have irregular comparative forms: - Good -> Better - Bad -> Worse - Far -> Further • Subtopic: Superlative Adjectives In the context of superlatives, we have a few examples: - A, D, G, C, B, E, G, F C is bigger than A, and D is bigger than G. For short words with one syllable, we add "-est" to form the superlative: - Short -> The shortest - Tall -> The tallest For adjectives ending in "y," we change the "y" to "i" and add "-est": - Easy -> The easiest - Heavy -> The heaviest Long words with 2, 3, or 4 syllables use "the most" to form the superlative: - Impersonal -> The most important - Extensive -> The most extensive Impersonal adjectives have irregular superlative forms: - Good -> The best ```
