Grammar
A Rule
Can anyone please remind me of the rule that explains when I add "er"\"est" and when "more"\"the ...most".
I remember that if I have one syllable I have to add "er" like in "nicer".
And if I remember correctly, when I have two syllables and the last latter is "y" I have to change it to "ier"\"iest" like in "likelier"\"likeliest".
Are there any other rulez? Thanks.

One syllable:
Add - er, Add the -est
Two syllables:
Add y - add -ier, add the -iest
Three or more syllables:
Add 'more' before - add 'the most'
