Things are better. The world is better.

How to tell when to use the ‑er and ‑est endings and when to use the helping words more and most? Unfortunately, there’s no hard and fast rule, but ...

One-syllable adjectives in almost all cases are used with ‑er and ‑est.)
Note: In some expressions even one-syllable adjectives use more to form the comparative: more sweet than sour.

Two-syllable adjectives in many cases also use ‑er and ‑est (happy, happier, happiest), but some always require more and most (bizarre, more bizarre, most bizarre). Some can use either the suffixes or the more-most technique (clever, cleverer, cleverest or clever, more clever, most clever).

Three-syllable adjectives are always used with more and most.
