P. 104
Some adjectives with two syllables use more or most before the adjective to compare.
Usually when we have words with more than three syllables we use more or most before the adjective.
• We use more to compare two or more things or people.
• We use most to compare three or more things or people.
ExAMPLES:
He was a courageous boy.
He was more courageous than Billy. He is the most courageous boy I know.
NEVER use both ways to compare.
ExAMPLES:
Billy was more fatter than I was.
Billy was the most fattest in our group.
