Comparative Adjectives (3)

Adjectives are words that describe nouns. Adjectives can also be Comparative – this means that they mean “more + adjective.”

With most short adjectives (1 or 2 syllables), you add “-er.”

·        big  à  bigger

·        funny  à  funnier

·        fast  à  faster

With longer adjectives, you add the word “more.”

·        important  à  more important

·        interesting à more interesting

·        beautiful  à more beautiful

*If an adjective ends in “consonant-y,” you have to change the y to i, then add -er.  (funnier, easier)

*If an adjective ends in “vowel-consonant,” you have to double the consonant, then add –er. (bigger, thinner)
