Even English speakers need to look in the dictionary for that. If you look up a word, it should be separated into syllables.

ok, thank you! It's because I'm in doubts in wich words I have to use "more" or not in the comparative/superlative forms. The grammar says the adjectives of three or more syllables (not ending in Y or er) we have to use the words "more" or most to make the comparative or superlative form. Do you know something about that? Thank you!

Here's a link for more on that:

Keep in mind that some two-syllable words are exceptions: some take "more" or "most" and some take "er" or "est". There's probably a list online, if you do a search.
