With this class I want to explain in an easy and funny way the Comparative Adjectives

1. COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES

2. USE
Comparative adjectives are used
to compare two(and only two)
things, animals, people, etc. Th
ey are used with the word
THAN.

3. GRAMMAR RULES:
1.-syllable adjectives: add -er to the adjective
 My sister is much taller than me.
 It's colder today than it was yesterday.
2.-syllable adjectives ending in -y: change the -y to -ier
 She's looking happier today.
 This grammar topic is easier than the last one.
 Why is everyone else luckier than me?

4.  Other 2-syllable adjectives: use more with the
unchanged adjective
 The shops are always more crowded just before
Christmas.
 Is there anything more boring than reading
about grammar?
 My sister is more careful with her writing than I
am with mine.

5. Adjectives with 3 or more syllables: use more
with the unchanged adjective
 Russian grammar is more difficult than English
grammar.
 My sister is much more intelligent than me.
 I find maths lessons more enjoyable than
science lessons.
 The older you get, the more irritating you
become.

6. Irregular Forms
Some adjectives have irregular forms in the
comparative degree, meaning they don’t
have a suffix –er nor do they need the words
more or less. The comparative forms of
these adjectives are totally different words.
 good – better
 bad – worse
 far – farther / further
 much – more
 little – less
