Редактирование: Comparatives and Superlatives

= Comparatives and Superlatives =
'''Comparatives''' and '''Superlatives''' are forms of adjectives and adverbs used to compare differences between objects, people, or actions. Comparatives are used to compare two things, while superlatives are used to compare one thing to a group.

== Comparatives ==
Comparatives are used to compare '''two''' things. They are formed in the following ways:

=== Rules ===
1. For '''one-syllable''' adjectives:
   * Add '''-er''' to the end of the adjective.
   * Example: "fast" → "faster", "tall" → "taller".

2. For '''two-syllable''' adjectives ending in '''-y''':
   * Change '''-y''' to '''-i''' and add '''-er'''.
   * Example: "happy" → "happier", "busy" → "busier".

3. For adjectives with '''two or more syllables''':
   * Use '''more''' before the adjective.
   * Example: "beautiful" → "more beautiful", "interesting" → "more interesting".

=== Examples ===
* "This car is '''faster''' than that one."
* "She is '''happier''' today than yesterday."
* "This book is '''more interesting''' than the last one I read."

== Superlatives ==
Superlatives are used to compare '''one''' thing to a '''group''. They are formed in the following ways:

=== Rules ===
1. For '''one-syllable''' adjectives:
   * Add '''-est''' to the end of the adjective.
   * Example: "fast" → "fastest", "tall" → "tallest".

2. For '''two-syllable''' adjectives ending in '''-y''':
   * Change '''-y''' to '''-i''' and add '''-est'''.
   * Example: "happy" → "happiest", "busy" → "busiest".

3. For adjectives with '''two or more syllables''':
   * Use '''the most''' before the adjective.
   * Example: "beautiful" → "the most beautiful", "interesting" → "the most interesting".

=== Examples ===
* "This is the '''fastest''' car in the world."
* "She is the '''happiest''' person I know."
* "This is the '''most interesting''' book I have ever read."

== Irregular Forms ==
Some adjectives have irregular comparative and superlative forms:

=== Examples ===
* "good" → "better" (comparative) → "the best" (superlative)
* "bad" → "worse" (comparative) → "the worst" (superlative)
* "far" → "farther/further" (comparative) → "the farthest/furthest" (superlative)
