I. New knowledge about comparison of adjectives

1. One-syllable adjectives form the comparative and superlative degrees by adding the suffixes ER, EST: black – blacker
2. Most two-syllable adjectives, including adjectives ending in the suffixes "al, ant, ent, ish, ive, ic, ous, ful, less", form the comparative and superlative degrees with the help of MORE, MOST:

active, more active, most active;

1. If an adjective ends in Y preceded by a consonant, Y is changed to I before adding ER, EST:

busy, busier, busiest;

1. If final Y is preceded by a vowel, Y doesn't change before adding ER, EST: gray, grayer, grayest.
2. If an adjective ends in a single consonant preceded by a single vowel, the consonant is doubled before adding ER, EST: big, bigger, biggest
3. Several adjectives have irregular forms of the comparative and superlative degrees: good, better, best; bad, worse, worst; many/much, more, most; little, less (lesser), least; far, farther, farthest; far, further, furthest.
