🔹 Rules for Adjective Degrees:

1. Positive Degree: Base form of the adjective.
2. Comparative Degree: Used to compare two things. Usually formed with -er or more.
3. Superlative Degree: Used to compare three or more things. Usually formed with -est or most.

> For short adjectives (usually 1 syllable): add -er (comparative), -est (superlative).
> For longer adjectives (usually 2+ syllables): use more / most.
