If a 1-syllable adjective ends in a consonant (with a single vowel preceding it), then the consonant is doubled and the endings "-er" and "-est" are used, for example: big, bigger, biggest. If a 1-syllable adjective ends in "y", the endings are "-er" and "-est", but the y is sometimes changed to an "i". If a 1-syllable adjective ends in "e", the endings are "-r" and "-st", for example: wise, wiser, wisest. The comparative ending ( suffix) for short, common adjectives is generally "-er" the superlative suffix is generally "-est." For most longer adjectives, the comparative is made by adding the word "more" (for example, more comfortable) and the superlative is made by adding the word "most" (for example, most comfortable). For example, looking at apples you can compare their size, determining which is big, which is bigger, and which is biggest. A superlative adjective is used when you compare three or more things.
