COMPARATIVE
We use comparative adjectives to show
change or make comparisons:
This car is certainly better, but it's
much more expensive.
I'm feeling happier now.
We need a bigger garden.
We use than when we want to compare
one thing with another:
She is two years older than me.
New York is much bigger than Boston.
He is a better player than Ronaldo.
France is a bigger country than Britain.
How to form comparative adjectives:
We usually add –er to one-syllable words to make comparatives:
Old – older / Long – Longer
If an adjective ends in –e, we add –r:
Nice – Nicer / Large – Larger
If an adjective ends in a vowel and a consonant, we double the consonant:
Big – Bigger / Fat – Fatter
If an adjective ends in a consonant and –y, we change –y to –i and add –er:
Happy – Happier / Silly – Sillier
We use more to make comparatives for most two syllable adjectives
and for all adjectives with three or more syllables:
Intelligent – More intelligent /
Interesting – More interesting
Finally, there are irregular
comparatives:
Good – Better / Bad – Worse / Far –
Farther or Further

sentences using different adjectives for each one.
