    The document discusses the rules for forming the comparative and superlative degrees of adjectives in English. For one-syllable adjectives, the comparative is formed by adding -er and the superlative is formed by adding -est. For adjectives ending in -er, -ow, -le, or -y, the comparative is formed by adding -er or -ier and the superlative is formed by adding -est or -iest. For adjectives of three or more syllables, more and most are placed before the adjective to form the comparative and superlative degrees.
