Adjective Comparison Guide

This document compares and contrasts short, long, and irregular adjectives in English. It explains that short adjectives usually add -er and -est for the comparative and superlative forms, while longer adjectives add "more" and "most". It also notes that two-syllable adjectives ending in -y, like "pretty" and "happy", as well as some short adjectives like "good" and "bad", have irregular comparative and superlative forms. Examples of regular and irregular adjective forms are provided.
