Comparative adjectives

1. The document discusses comparative adjectives and how to form them in English. 2. Comparative adjectives involve adding "-er" to short adjectives with one syllable or changing "y" to "i" and adding "-er" for adjectives ending in "y" to compare two things. 3. For long adjectives with more than one syllable, "more" is used before the adjective. Some adjectives like "good" and "bad" have irregular comparatives "better" and "worse".
