    Comparative Adjectives
    Language use
    1. We use comparative adjectives to show change or make comparisons:
    Example:
    - This car is certainly better, but it's much more expensive.
    - I'm feeling happier now.
    - We need a bigger garden.
    2. We use than when we want to compare one thing with another:
    Example:
    - She is two years older than me.
    - New York is much bigger than Boston.
    - He is a better player than Ronaldo.
    - France is a bigger country than Britain.
    How to form comparative and superlative adjectives
    1. We usually add –er and –est to one-syllable words to make comparatives and superlatives:
    Adjective Comparative Superlative
    old
    long

    2. If an adjective ends in –e, we add –r or –st:

    Adjective Comparative Superlative


    nice
    large

    3. If an adjective ends in a vowel and a consonant, we double the consonant:

    Adjective Comparative Superlative


    big
    fat

    4. If an adjective ends in a consonant and –y, we change –y to –i and add –er or –est:

    Adjective Comparative Superlative


    happy
    silly
    5. We use more and most to make comparatives and superlatives for most two syllable
    adjectives and for all adjectives with three or more syllables:

    Adjective Comparative Superlative


    careful
    interesting

    6. However, with these common two-syllable adjectives, you can either add –er/–r and –est/–st
    or use more and most:

    common narrow
    cruel pleasant
    gentle polite
    handsome simple
    likely stupid

    Example:
    - He is certainly handsomer than his brother.
    - His brother is handsome, but he is more handsome.

    7. The adjectives good, bad and far have irregular comparatives and superlatives:

    Adjective Comparative Superlative


    good
    bad
    far
    many/ much
    little
