 Si el adjetivo es corto y termina en vocal + consonante, se duplica la
consonante.
big– bigger, excepto new- newer
 Si termina en "y" se cambia por "ier".
happy – happier
 Si el adjetivo es largo (de 3 silabas para arriba) o termina en “ed” o “ ing”
antepondré more conservando el adjetivo en su forma normal.
