Comparative and superlative adjectives
Hey guys. I've recently been wondering how bad it is to form a comparative or superlative adjective incorrectly.
For example, how bad it is to say something like - more big/smart/crazy... or most big/smart/crazy...

I know that the correct ones are bigger, smarter and etc... I just want to know if it's gravy to make this kind of mistake

Thanks in advance

Answer

more big/smart/crazy... or most big/smart/crazy...are not things you will hear English speakers say. They would all reveal a poor knowledge of english.

Answer

There are some confusing adjectives which change the form according the context. I guess that what you meant.
For example,
adjective.    comparative form
late (time).      later
late (order).     latter
