Hi There!!!
How is it going?
When we
talk about two things,
we can "compare" them.
We can see
if they are the same or different.
Perhaps,
they are the same in some ways and different in other ways.
We can use
comparative adjectives to
describe the differences.
FORMATION
OF COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES
There are
two ways to make or form a comparative adjective:
short
adjectives: add "-er"
long
adjectives: use "more"
Short
Adjectives
* with
1-syllable:
old --- older
fast --- faster
* with
2-syllable ending in ( -y), change the (y) to (i):
happy --- happier
easy --- easier
* if the
adjective ends in (-e), just add (-r):
late --- later
* if the
adjective ends in consonant, vowel, consonant, double the last consonant:
big
--- bigger
fat --- fatter
Long
Adjectives
* with
2-syllable adjectives not ending in (-y):
modern --- more modern
pleasant ---
more pleasant.
* with all
adjectives of 3 or more syllables:
expensive --- more expensive
intellectual
--- more intellectual
dangerous --- more dangerous
With some
2-syllable adjectives, we can use '-er' or 'more':
quiet:
quieter --- more quiet
clever:
cleverer --- more clever
narrow:
narrower --- more narrow
simple:
simpler --- more simple
Exception
The
following adjectives have irregular forms:
*good ----> better
*well
(healthy) ----> better
*bad ----> worse
*far ----> farther /// further
Here you
can see some examples:
Pay
attention to these examples because you are going to write sentences using the
comparison form of adjectives.
1. An elephant is heavier than a giraffe.
2. Elephants are bigger than giraffes.
3. Cars are faster than bikes.
4. A lion is more dangerous than a cat.
