The usage of degrees of adjectives

When there is only a single syllable


•In a comparative degree, when two nouns or pronouns are compared, “er” is added to the adjective, and “r” is added to the
adjective that ends with an “e.”
•In a superlative degree, when more than two nouns are being compared, “est” is added to the adjective, and “st” is added to the
adjective that ends with an “e.”
•When the positive degree ends in a consonant (except a, e, i, o, u) with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u) before it, write the consonant word
at the end twice and then add “er” and “est.”
