Comparative and superlative

In English, adjectives can vary in degree (normal, comparative and

superlative).
The superlative is used to express the highest and most intense
degree of a characteristic or quality. It usually establishes a
relationship between a noun and a group of nouns.
Example: John is the oldest student in his class.
The comparative, on the other hand, has the function of expressing a
characteristic or quality of a noun by comparing it with another.
Example: Sally is stronger than Bob.
Check out the table below with the degree of adjectives in English
(superlative and comparative):

irregular, i.e. they don't follow a rule of formation.

The superlative degree in English follows two different structures,
depending on the number of syllables in the adjective. Check out the
rules for forming superlatives in English below.
Adjectives with one or two syllables are those that have few characters
and are shorter words. This is the case, for example, with new, nice,
big and happy.
The structure of these superlatives is as follows:
the + adjective + ending -est
Examples:
These are the newest market trends.
Catherine was the nicest teacher I have ever had. (Catherine was the
nicest teacher I have ever had.)
Mike lives in the biggest house on the street.
Bob is the happiest kid in our family.
Before adding -est, you need to look at the ending of the adjective
itself, as you may need to delete or add letters to form the superlative.
Superlative of one- or two-syllable adjectives ending in -e
When the ending of an adjective is -e, you don't need to repeat that
letter to form the superlative. All you have to do is add -st.
Examples:

Superlative of one- or two-syllable adjectives ending in vowel +

consonant
As a general rule, when an adjective ends in a vowel + consonant, you
should double the consonant and then add the ending -est.
This rule of repeating the consonant is valid for practically all cases of
adjectives that end in a vowel + consonant. However, there are
exceptions.
This is the case, for example, with the adjectives new and clean.

Superlative of one- or two-syllable adjectives ending in consonant and

-y
To form the
To form the superlative of an adjective ending in a consonant and an -
y, replace the -y with an -i and add -est.

Superlative of adjectives with three or more syllables

The adjectives of
Adjectives of three or more syllables are those that make up longer
words; they have more characters. This is the case, for example, with
beautiful, intelligent, interesting and valuable.
The structure of these superlatives is as follows:
the most + adjective

Just like in Portuguese
As in Portuguese, comparatives in English are subdivided into three
types: inferiority, equality and superiority.
Comparative of inferiority
Establishes a relationship of inferiority between one thing/person and
another, through a comparison.
The structure of the comparative of inferiority in English is as follows:
less + adjective + than
Comparative of equality
It establishes a relationship of equality (in quantity, size or intensity)
between things or people.
The formation of the comparative of equality has the following
structure:
as + adjective + as
Comparative of superiority
It establishes a relationship of superiority (in quantity, size or intensity)
between things or people.
The formation of the comparative of superiority in English varies
according to the spelling of the adjective and the number of syllables
it has.
Adjectives with one or two syllables have few characters; they are
short words. This is the case, for example, with new, nice, big and
happy.
The structure of these comparatives is as follows:
adjective + -er + than
Comparative superiority of one- or two-syllable adjectives ending in -e
If an adjective
If an adjective ends in -e, you don't need to repeat that letter to form
the comparative; just add the -r.
Comparative superiority of one- or two-syllable adjectives ending in a
vowel + consonant
General rule, when
As a general rule, when an adjective ends in a vowel + consonant, you
should double the consonant and then add the ending -er.

This rule of repeating the consonant is valid for practically all cases of
adjectives that end in a vowel + consonant. However, there are
exceptions.
This is the case, for example, with the adjectives new and clean.

Comparative superiority of one- or two-syllable adjectives ending in

consonant and -y
To form the comparative of superiority of an adjective ending in a
consonant and a -y, simply replace the -y with -i, and add -er.

Comparative superiority of adjectives with three or more syllables in

engllish
In English, adjectives of three or more syllables are longer words with
more characters. This is the case, for example, with beautiful,
intelligent, interesting and valuable.
The structure for forming the comparative of superiority for these
adjectives is as follows:
more + adjective + than
