Great job! Your answers are correct. Let me explain how to get the answers.
In question 1, the rule states that if the two-syllable adjective ends in -y, you change the y to i and add -er for the comparative form and -est for the superlative form. So, the word "prettier" follows this rule.
In question 2, the rule states that some two-syllable adjectives take -er for the comparative form and -est for the superlative form. So, the words "happiest" and "biggest" follow this rule.
In question 3, the rule states that some two-syllable adjectives take more for the comparative form and most for the superlative form. So, the word "more beautiful" follows this rule.
In question 4, the rule states that some two-syllable adjectives take -er for the comparative form and -est for the superlative form. So, the word "yellower" follows this rule.
In question 5, the rule states that some two-syllable adjectives take less for the comparative form and least for the superlative form. So, the word "less generous" follows this rule.
In question 6, the rule states that adverbs of two syllables take more for the comparative form and most for the superlative form. So, the word "more quickly" follows this rule.
Well done on getting all the answers correct!
