Ex. 24. Прочтите и выучите правило:

ПРАВОПИСАНИЕ ОКОНЧАНИЙ – ER, - EST

При прибавлении суффиксов –er, -est к основе прилагательных соблюдаются следующие правила правописания:

1)Если прилагательное оканчивается на одну согласную с предшествующей краткой гласной, то согласная удваивается: big – bigger- the biggest.

2)Если прилагательное оканчивается на немую “e”, то она опускается перед суффиксами –er, -est: late- later – the latest.

3)Если прилагательное оканчивается на “y” с предшествующей согласной, то ”y” меняется на “i”: easy- easier – the easiest.
