    The document provides information on comparatives and superlatives in English. It explains that to form comparatives, we usually add -er to adjectives of one syllable that end in a consonant+y. For adjectives ending in e, we add -r. For those of two or more syllables, we add more before the adjective. To form superlatives, we usually add -est, but for words ending in e we add -st and for those ending in consonant+y we change the y to i and add -est. It also lists common comparative and superlative forms of adjectives and adverbs.
