Comparatives

1. The comparative is used in English as a way to compare differences between two objects that it modifies. It is used in sentences where we compare two names

   • IRREGULAR COMPARATIVES
     • Some very ordinary adjectives have irregular shapes in the comparative and superlative degrees.
   • ADJECTIVES OF A SYLLABLE
     • Add ER for comparatives. If the adjective ends in consonant + vowel + consonant, the last consonant must be repeated before adding the ending.
   • TWO SYLLABLE ADJECTIVES
     • Two-syllable adjectives can form the comparative by adding ER, like one-syllable adjectives, or by placing MORE in front of the adjective, as with three-syllable adjectives. When a two-syllable adjective ends in y, it must be changed to i before adding the ending.
   • THREE SYLLABLE ADJECTIVES OR MORE
     • Adjectives of three syllables or more form the comparative placing MORE
