• We can use comparative
adjectives when talking about
two things (not three or more

comparative adjective:
• Short adjectives: add "-er“
Fast: Faster
Old: Older
• Long adjectives: use "more“
Expensive: More expensive
Beautiful: More Beautiful
Rules!
• If the adjective ends in -e, just add –r.
Late : Later
• If the adjective ends in consonant, vowel,
consonant, double the last consonant.
Big: Bigger
• if the adjective ends in -y, change the y to i.
Happy: Happier
Exception: The following adjectives
have irregular forms:
- Good → better
