Comparative forms of adjectives: review
- Formation
Formation of Comparative Adjectives
There are two ways to make or to "form" a comparative adjective:
short adjectives: add "-er" long adjectives: use "more"
Ảnh
Short adjectives: add -er
examples
1-syllable adjectives
old, fast
2-syllable adjectives ending in -y
happy, easy
RULE:
add "-er"
old → older
Variation: if the adjective ends in -e, just add -r
late → later
Variation: if the adjective ends in consonant, vowel, consonant, double the last consonant
big → bigger
Variation: if the adjective ends in -y, change the y to i
happy → happier

Formation of Comparative Adjectives
There are two ways to make or to "form" a comparative adjective:
short adjectives: add "-er" long adjectives: use "more"
Long adjectives: use more
examples
2-syllable adjectives not ending in -y
modern, pleasant
all adjectives of 3 or more syllables
expensive, intellectual
RULE:
use "more"
modern → more modern expensive → more expensive
- Notes
Notes:
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
- Use
Use of Comparative Adjectives
We use comparative adjectives when talking about 2 things (not 3 or 10 or 1,000,000 things, only 2 things). Often, the comparative adjective is followed by "than".
Look at these examples:
John is 1m80. He is tall. But Chris is 1m85. He is taller than John. America is big. But Russia is bigger. I want to have a more powerful computer. Is French more difficult than English?
