What are Comparative Adjectives?
Comparative adjectives are words that help us compare two things. For example, if you have two pencils, one can be longer than the other. They show how one noun is different from another noun. We use them to say that one thing is 'more' of something than another.
- Compare two things.
- Show a difference between two nouns.
Making Comparative Adjectives: Short Adjectives
For short adjectives, like 'tall' or 'happy', we usually add '-er' to the end. If an adjective ends in '-y', we change the '-y' to '-i' before adding '-er', like 'happy' becomes 'happier'. Sometimes, we double the last letter if it's a consonant-vowel-consonant, like 'big' becomes 'bigger'. We often use 'than' after the comparative adjective.
- Add '-er' to short adjectives.
- Change '-y' to '-i' and add '-er' for words ending in '-y'.
- Use 'than' after the comparative adjective.
Making Comparative Adjectives: Long Adjectives and Irregular Forms
For long adjectives, like 'beautiful' or 'expensive', we put the word 'more' before the adjective. We do not add '-er' to these words. Some adjectives are special and don't follow these rules, like 'good' which becomes 'better', and 'bad' which becomes 'worse'. You need to remember these special ones.
- Put 'more' before long adjectives.
- Remember irregular forms like 'good' -> 'better'.
- Remember 'bad' -> 'worse'.
