Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between two objects or entities. They are typically formed by adding "-er" to the end of the adjective or by preceding the adjective with "more" or "less" when the adjective has more than one syllable.
Here are some examples:
Short Adjectives (typically one syllable):
Tall → Taller
Fast → Faster
Small → Smaller
Longer Adjectives (typically two or more syllables):
Beautiful → More beautiful
Expensive → More expensive
Comfortable → More comfortable
In some cases, irregular adjectives do not follow these rules and have unique comparative forms:
Good → Better
Bad → Worse
Far → Farther/Further
Comparative adjectives are often used with "than" to show the comparison explicitly:
She is taller than her brother.
