    This document provides rules for forming comparisons and superlatives of adjectives and adverbs in English. It lists examples grouped by the number of syllables: one syllable follows a simple pattern of adding "-er" or "-est"; two-syllable words ending in "y" change the "y" to "i" before adding endings; and those with two or more syllables use "more" or "most". Special forms are also provided for common irregular adjectives like "good", "bad", and "much".
