• Adj. com uma sílaba = adiciona-se o sufixo -est e coloca-se o artigo "the" na frente da palavra.
• Adj. com uma sílaba terminando em "e" = adiciona-se o sufixo -st e coloca-se o artigo "the na frente da palavra.
• Adj. com um sílaba e terminando em "y" = retira-se o -y e adiciona-se o sufixo -iest, adiciona-se o artigo "the" na frente da palavra.
• Adj. com uma sílaba e que termine com consoante - vogal - consoante = dobra-se a consoante e adiciona-se o sufixo -est.
• Adj. com mais que duas sílabas = adiciona-se a palavra "most" na frente do adjetivo.
