Page summary:
Regular comparative and superlative adjectives merely put an -er and an -est ending on the basic adjective, even if they are very long (in contrast to English, which uses 'more' or 'most' if the adjective is more than two syllables long, such as diligent or intelligent). Irregular comparative and superlative adjectives put an -er and an -est ending on the basic adjective, in addition to changes to the word stem.
