-er and -est are used to form comparatives and superlatives for one-syllable adjectives (e.g., fast, faster, fastest). -ier and -iest are used for two-syllable adjectives ending in -y (e.g., happy, happier, happiest).
How do you form the comparative and the superlative degree of the irregular adjectives?
Depends what you mean by 'irregular'. The basic rule is to add '-er' for comparatives and '-est' for superlatives. BUT: (i) If the adjective ends in '-y' (e.g. 'happy', 'silly'), the 'y' changes to 'i' (both for comparatives and superlatives), thus 'happiest', 'silliest'. (ii) Generally, if the word has more than two syllables (e.g. 'wonderful' or 'eccentric', for example), because adding '-er' or'-est' sounds clumsy, the rule is to add 'more' (comparative) or 'most' (superlative) before the adjective in question. Thus 'more wonderful/most wonderful', 'more eccentric/most eccentric'. I think there are one or two other rules which escape me at the moment.
