Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between two nouns and follow specific rules for changing their endings based on the number of syllables. For one syllable adjectives, -er is added. For one syllable words with CVC pattern, the last consonant is doubled before adding -er. Two syllable adjectives ending in -y change to -ier, while other two syllable adjectives do not change but use more/less before them. The grammar structure for comparisons uses a subject, verb to be, comparative adjective, than, and object.

Comparatives
- 2. FUNCTION •Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between the two objects they modify (larger, smaller, faster, higher). They are used in sentences where two nouns are compared.
- 3. ADJECTIVES RULES • If the adjective is one syllable, you must add -er. For example small – smaller; nice – nicer. • If the adjective is one syllable with consonant-vowel-consonant, you must double the last consonant and add -er For example big – bigger; hot - hotter
- 4. • If the adjective has two syllables, but ends in -y, you must change the end to -ier. For example lucky – luckier; happy – happier. • With other English adjectives of two syllables and more, you can‘t change their endings. Instead, you should use more/less + adjective. For example: handsome – more/less handsome; beautiful – more/less beautiful
- 5. GRAMMAR RULES Noun (subject) + verb to be + comparative adjective + than + noun (object). Examples: Ships are more expensive than boats A boat is cheaper than a ship
- 6. REMEMBER!! When you compare two things, use 'than'. "She's younger than me.“ "This exercise is more difficult than the last one.“
