Comparatives.

Comparatives.

1. When we use the comparatives?

   • We use comparative adjectives when we compare two things or persons.
   • Adjetives describe nouns qualities. Some of these qualities can vary in degree or intensity. When we want to make comparisons, we test qualities or attributes through their varying adjetives.

2. Rules for comparatives.

   • For the majority of adjectives with one syllable (short adjectives), add the "er". Example: small/smaller, short/shorter, fast/faster.
   • For short adjectives ending in "y", change the "y" by the "i" and add "er". Example: dry/drier, heavy/heavier.
   • For adjectives long (with two or more syllables), use "more" and the original adjective. Example: beautiful/more beautiful, expensive/more expensive.

3. Exceptions.

   • Happy- more happy/happier, friendly- more friendly/friendlier, good/better, bad/worst.
