Irregular Rules
Normally, we add -er or -est to compare. But some words break ALL the rules!
workspace_premium The "Good" Family
thumb_down The "Bad" Family
route The "Far" Family
bar_chart Quantity (បរិមាណ)
Don't use "more" or "most" with irregulars!
"Better" already means "more good"!
If you want to emphasize, use "much" before a comparative.

Great question! Historically, "farther" is for physical distance (The store is farther away). "Further" is for figurative distance or meaning "more" (I need further information). But today, many native speakers use them interchangeably! 📏
Why do we have to use "the" with "best" and "worst"?
Because there can only be ONE "best" or ONE "worst"! It is specific and unique, so it needs the definite article "the". 🥇
What about "fewer"? Is it the same as "less"?
Similar, but there's a strict rule! Use "less" for uncountable things (less water, less time). Use "fewer" for things you can count (fewer books, fewer people). 📚💧
