Comparatives

Question	Answer
Name: Vivian Daniela De La Cruz Hernández Key: 8 Theme: Comparatives	There are two ways to form a comparative adjetive: short adjetives have an "-er" added to the end, ei old becomes (older), and long adjetives use the word "more". For example expensive (expensive) becomes more expensive (more expensive).
They are used to compare characteristicsor qualities between objects or people.	An example of a comparative adjective: the green ruler is large that the blue ruler.
Just as two-syllable adjetives can form the comparative by writing -er, like one -syllable adjectives, or by placing more in front of the adjective, as occurs with three-syllable adjectives.	Short adjectives Most adjectives whit one syllable (short adjectives), we write the ending "-er" to form their comparative.
Examples of short adjectives that end in "-e", just add "-r"... that end in a vowel and a consonant, make a double consonant and add "-er"... that end in "-y", change the "y" to "i" and add the ending "-er"...	Small / Smaller wide / Wider thin / Thinner heavy / Heavier
Long adjectives For several adjectives with 2 or more syllables, we use "more" plus the original adjective. more + adjective	Examples of long adjectives
Expensive / More expensive generous / More generous beautiful / More beautiful	Grade: Third Basic Section: B English homework
