Comparative Adjectives
Adjectives: are words that describe a person, place or thing:
a tall man
a big town
a horrible holiday
Sometimes we need to compare things, so we need
comparative adjectives.
How to use comparatives
Comparatives are used to compare two People or things. You can use sentences with Than
*John is taller than Mark.
Ford is more expensive than Fiat
Forming regular comparatives
How these forms are created depends on
how many syllables there are in the
adjective. Syllables are like "sound beats". For
instance, "sing" contains one syllable, but
"singing" contains two -- sing and ing. Here are the rules:
*For Adjectives with one syllable we add -er.
tall taller
light lighter
*For Adjectives with one syllable that end in E.Add -R:
nice nicer
wide wider
*Only one syllable, with one vowel and one consonant at the end Double the final consonant, and add -er
big bigger
slim slimmer
hot hotter
*For Adjectives with two syllables and end in "y", remove the "y" and add -ier
easy easier
trendy trendier
silly sillier
*If an adjective has two or more syllables, don't change the word, but add "more" before the word.
