Comparatives
Use:
Use the comparative form to talk about how two things are different.
I am taller than you.
This book is thicker than that one.
Form:
1) If an adjective has one syllable, add er to the end. If it ends in e already, just add r.
tall = > taller nice = > nicer
thick = > thicker late = > later
2) If an adjective ends in one vowel and one consonant, write the consonant again, then write er. But never write a w twice.
big = > bigger new = > newer (NOT newwer) thin = > thinner slow = > slower (NOT slowwer) slim = > slimmer
My brother is thinner than me.
3) If an adjective has two syllables and ends in y, change the y to i and add er.
funny = > funnier silly = > sillier
Which of these books is funnier?
5) Some adjectives have irregular superlative forms. These are listed below.
good = > better
bad = > worse
far = > further
Add than after a comparative adjective to compare one thing with another. However, this is not always necessary.
My house is smaller than yours.
