What are the rules for forming comparatives and superlatives of two-syllable adjectives?

The rules for forming comparatives and superlatives of two-syllable adjectives are as follows:

1. For most two-syllable adjectives, you can form the comparative by adding "-er" to the end of the adjective (e.g., taller, smarter) and the superlative by adding "-est" (e.g., tallest, smartest).

2. If the two-syllable adjective ends in "-y," "-er" is added to form the comparative (e.g., happier, prettier) and "-est" is added to form the superlative (e.g., happiest, prettiest).

3. If the two-syllable adjective ends in "-er," "-le," or "-ow," you can also add "-er" to form the comparative (e.g., cleverer, narrower, shallower) and "-est" to form the superlative (e.g., cleverest, narrowest, shallowest).

4. Some two-syllable adjectives have irregular forms for the comparative and superlative. These forms need to be memorized, such as good - better - best, bad - worse - worst, and far - farther/further - farthest/furthest.
