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, in this pattern: Noun (subject) + verb + comparative adjective + than + noun (object). The second item of comparison can be omitted if it is clear from the context (final example below). Examples
The rules in forming the comparative adjectives : A) REGULAR ADJECTIVES 1) Add -er for the comparative. If the adjective has a consonant + single vowel + consonant spelling, the final consonant must be doubled before adding the ending. Examples : tall - taller fat - fatter big - bigger 2) For two-syllable adjectives ending in -y, change the -y to -i and add -er. Examples : happy - happier lovely - lovelier heavy - heavier B) IRREGULAR ADJECTIVES Forming the comparative adjectives for irregular adjectives is different from the regular adjectives. The most important thing to remember is : THEY DO NOT HAVE SPECIFIC RULE! We have to memorise the form of the adjectives. Examples :

1) Add -s to a noun to make it plural. Examples : apple (S) - apples (P) supermarket (S) - supermarkets (P) 2) Add -es to a noun that ends in -s, -ss, -sh, -ch and -x to make it plural. Examples : bus (S) - buses (P) dress (S) - dresses (P) match (S) - matches (P) fox (S) - foxes (P) 3) Change the -y to -ies at the end of the nouns. Examples : party (S) - parties (P) butterfly (S) - butterflies (P) 4) Change the -f or -fe to -ves at the end of the nouns. Examples : half (S) - halves (P) knife (S) - knives (P) 5) For irregular nouns, the rules are different : a) some irregular nouns change the vowel to make them plural, for example : tooth (S) - teeth (P) man (S) - men (P) b) some irregular nouns add -en to make them plural, for example : child (S) - children (P) c) some irregular nouns just stay the same in plural form, for example : sheep (S) - sheep (P) |
