regular and irregular adjectives?

Question

I need info for the university about regular and irregular adjectves and I couldn´t find a specific answer about this

Answer 1

An irregular adjective is a word that is describing a known noun but isn't derived the same way as the word its describing. Basically, its a word that describes or can take the place of another word but isn't anything remotely like the word its replacing. An example would be ACTOR = THESPIAN. Thespian is another way of saying actor but even for English speaking natives, there is no way of knowing that thespian is related to actor. Wikipedia has a nice list of irregular adjectives on their site and a good definition.

Answer 2

Do you mean that the comparative and superlative forms are regular or irregular?

Regular, one syllable:
smart, smarter, smartest

Regular, two syllables ending in y:
pretty, prettier, prettiest

Regular, most other two syllable words, and three or more syllables:
beautiful, more beautiful, most beautiful

Some irregulars:

good, better, best
bad, worse, worst
far, farther, farthest
