     • long
       • Two or more syllables, we have to write "more" before the adjetive and "than" after the adjetive  Ex; expensive/ more expensive than 
   • inferiority
     • We have two types of inferiority,  for example we write "less" before the adjetive and "than" after it Ex; less interesting than... We write "not as" before the adjetive and "as" after it  Ex; not as interesting as...
