No best answer has yet been selected by janzman. Once a best answer has been selected, it will be shown here.
For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.You're talking about comparatives and superlatives. Comparatives refer to two people/objects and end in ER
so taller, shorter, thinner, fatter, happier, sadder, chattier, quieter etc.
Superlatives relate to 3 or more and end in EST
so tallest, thinnest, briefest, sunniest, rainiest, loudest.
more and most are also used for adjectives of two or more syllables so it would be more thoughtful or most beautiful although adjectives with two syllables ending in Y (happy, jolly) still become happier, happiest, jollier, jolliest.
