Comparisons
If you want to compare things you can often use -er, -est
  • Cheap – cheaper – cheapest
  • Short – shorter – shortest
This counts for all 1-syllable and some 2-syllable words (y-le-er-ow)
If they end in a y, the spelling changes to i
  • Easy – easier – easiest
  • Happy – happier – happiest

Comparisons
If the word consists of 3 syllables or more, you use 'more' and 'most'
  • Beautiful – more beautiful – most beautiful
  • Attractive – more attractive – most attractive

Comparisons
Choose between more / most or–er / -est
These 2-syllable words: common, cruel, handsome, likely, pleasant, polite, quiet, simple, stupid (e.g. pleasanter/more pleasant)

2-syllable words that end in –le, -er en –ow
