 COMPARATIVE
Adjective
Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between
the two objects they modify

Noun (subject) + verb + comparative adjective + than + noun (object).

Examples
My house is larger than hers.
This box is smaller than the one I lost.
Your dog runs faster than Jim's dog.
One syllable

Add -er for the

comparative
If the adjective has a
consonant + single vowel
+ consonant spelling, the
final consonant must be
doubled before adding
the ending.
One syllable
ending with “E”

If the adjective has

ending with “E” add r

Example:

safe= safer
nice= nicer
Two syllable
ending with “Y”

If a two-syllable adjective
ends in -y, change the ‘y’
to ‘i’
and add -er in the
comparative form
Two or More
syllable
Adjectives with two syllables can form the comparative either by
adding -er or by preceeding the adjective with more. In many cases,
both forms are used, although one usage will be more common than
the other.
If you are not sure whether a two-syllable adjective can take a
comparative ending, play it safe and use more instead.
Example:
famous= more famous
large= more large
Three or more
syllable
Adjectives with three
or more syllables form
the comparative by
putting more in front
of the adjective,
