5. Base word + ending and the 1-1-1 rule: 

Adjectives with -er / -est 

• What is an adjective?

An adjective tells us about a person, animal, or thing.
(Examples: big, small, tall, happy)

•  Rules for -er / -est

For most short adjectives → add -er / -est
- tall → taller → tallest
- small → smaller → smallest

Rule 1: y → i + er / est
- happy → happier → happiest
- funny → funnier → funniest

Rule 2: 1-1-1 Rule (one syllable(sound) +one vowel + one consonant → double the last consonant)
- big → bigger → biggest
- hot → hotter → hottest

Rule 3: Ending with e (just add -r / -st)
- nice → nicer → nicest
- large → larger → largest

Rule 4: Irregular words (change completely)
- good → better → best
- bad → worse → worst
