Comparative Adjectives Stucture

There are two ways to form compative adjectives, depending on the lenth of the adjective.

Adjectives with 1 syllable or adjectives with 2 syllables if the word ends in -y, then -er is added to the end of the word.

Notes:

Adjectives ending in -y; change the -y to -i and add -er.
Adjectives that end with a consonant, vowel, consonant - the last consonant is doubled and -er is added to the end of the adjective.

Examples

Adjectives with 3 more syllables, and words with 2 syllables that don't end in -y. The word "more" or "less" is placed before the adjective.

Note: Adjectives that end in -e, only -r is added to end of the adjective.

Examples

Note: "Than" is usually usually used after the comparative adjective.
