GRAMMAR AND EXPLANATION:
Comparatives and superlatives of adjectives, participles and adverbs
1. Most adjectives of two syllables which have the stress on the first syllable form their comparatives and superlatives by adding "-er" and "-est". For example, "clever - cleverer - cleverest" and "simple - simpler - simplest".
2. However, adjectives ending in "-ful" or "-less" form their comparatives and superlatives by using "more than" and "the most". For example, "helpful - more helpful - the most helpful" and "careless - more careless - the most careless".
3. Some adjectives are made from the participles of verbs. For example, "a surprising result" or "an interested child". These adjectives form their comparatives and superlatives by using "more than" and "the most". For example, "boring - more boring - the most boring" and "pleased - more pleased - the most pleased".
4. There are some exceptions to these rules, but if you are not sure how to form the comparative and superlative of an adjective, it is best to use more than" and "the most".
5. Adverbs that are made by adding "-ly" to an adjective form their comparatives arid superlatives by using "more than" and "the most". For example, "carefully - more carefully - the most carefully".
