Adjectives Ending In Er And Est. We do not write two Es together. Some exceptions with two-syllable adjectives ending in -er and -est Adjectives ending in "er" and "est" worksheets.
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). Two-syllable adjectives ending in "y, er, ow" usually form the comparative and superlative degrees by adding ER, EST: angry, angrier, angriest; busy, busier, busiest; crazy, crazier, craziest; dirty, dirtier, dirtiest; easy, easier, easiest; early, earlier, earliest; funny, funnier, funniest; happy, happier, happiest. These worksheets give students practice in adding "er" or "est" to the end of adjectives to make comparisons (tall, taller, tallest).
To talk about how a person or thing is changing and gaining more of a particular quality, we can use two -er form adjectives connected by and, or we can use more and more before an adjective.
These modifiers compare three or more things.
Typically, superlative adjectives use -est (instead or -er), and "most" and least" (instead of "more" or "less"). Two-syllable adjectives ending in -y change y to i and take the -er and -est endings: busy, busier, busiest. You use 'more' for the comparative and 'most' for the superlative of most two-syllable adjectives, all longer adjectives, and adverbs ending in '-ly'.
