- 1Comparatives & superlativesAdjectives can compare two things or more than two things. When we make these comparisons, we use comparative and superlative forms of adjectives.
- 2Comparatives One way to describe nouns (people, objects, animals, etc.) is by comparing them to something else. When comparing two things, you’re likely to use adjectives like smaller, bigger, taller, more interesting, and less expensive. Notice the ‑er ending, and the words more and less.For adjectives that are just one syllable, add -er to the end (this explains the above example).
For two-syllable adjectives not ending in -y and for all three-or-more-syllable adjectives, use the form “more + adjective.”
For two-syllable adjectives ending in -y, change the -y to -i and add -er. - 3These simple rules make it easy to tell when you should add -er or -ier and when you should use “more + adjective.” Here are a few examples: This house is more exciting than ever. This house is excitinger than ever. Mike is funnier than Isaac. Mike is more funny than Isaac. Notice the spelling change for adjectives ending in ‑y: the comparative ends in ‑ier. This book is boringer than the last one. This book is more boring than the last one.
