    The document describes the rules for forming the positive, comparative, and superlative degrees of adjectives in English. For single-syllable adjectives ending in -y, the comparative takes -ier and the superlative takes -iest. For other single-syllable adjectives, the comparative takes -er and the superlative takes -est. For adjectives of more than one syllable, or those not ending in -y, the comparative uses "more" and the superlative uses "most". The positive degree describes one item, the comparative compares two items, and the superlative compares three or more items.
