Adjective Comparison Flowchart

The document provides instructions for making adjectives comparative by adding suffixes based on whether the word ends in certain letters or has one or multiple syllables. It explains that if a word ends in 'y' it changes to 'i' and adds 'er', if it ends in a vowel followed by consonant it doubles the last letter and adds 'er', and if it does not meet prior conditions it simply adds 'er'. Exceptions are provided for good, bad, and far. It also defines adjectives and notes websites that can help determine syllable counts.
