Comparative &
Superlative
Adjectives
The Comparative is normally used if you
want to compare two things, people,etc:
• When we compare using short words (one or
two sylabbles), we add –er + than at the end of
the adjective.
Ex.
• He is taller than me.
• My car is cheaper than your car.
If an adjective ends in one vowel + consonant
(a,e,i,o,u) (b,c,d,f,g,h,j,k,l,m....)
we double the consanant and add -er
• big - bigger

• thin - thinner
• fat - fatter
 If and adjective ends with a –y, we change it to –i and add –er
• happy - happier
• funny - funnier
