adjective.

consonant letter, the consonant letter is doubled.

If an adjective ends in a consonant followed by -y, -y

is replaced by -i when adding –er

e.g.: angry → angrier.

SPELLING RULES
Two Syllables

Two syllable adjectives which end in -y or –r usually

form the comparative by adding -er and changing the -y
for an –i.
e.g.:
Pretty = Prettier
Clever= Cleverer

Long adjectives (2 syllables or more)

Two syllable adjectives or more syllables form the comparative with

more – less* and the adjective.

e.g.:
Ambitious = More ambitious – Less ambitious
Determined = More determined – Less determined

Ana is more ambitious THAN Peter.

The new manager is less determined THAN Jack.

LESS with short and long adjectives

It doesn’t matter if the word has one or more syllables when we use
“less”.
