Explicación
<p>Comparative Adjectives</p> <p>When we talk about two things, we can "compare" them. We can see if they are the same or different. Perhaps they are the same in some ways and different in other ways. We can use comparative adjectives to describe the differences.</p><p>We use comparative adjectives when talking about <strong>two</strong> things (not three or more things).</p><p><b>Formation of Comparative Adjectives</b></p><p>There are two ways to make or to "form" a comparative adjective:</p> <ul> <li><b>short</b> adjectives: add <b>"-er"</b></li> <li><b>long</b> adjectives: use <b>"more"</b></li> </ul> <table> <thead> <tr> <td> <p><b>Short adjectives: add -er</b></p> </td> <td> <p><b>examples</b></p> </td> </tr> </thead> <tbody><tr> <td> <p>1-syllable adjectives</p> </td> <td> <p>old, fast</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>2-syllable adjectives ending in -y</p> </td> <td> <p>happy, easy</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><b>RULE:</b> add "-er"</p> </td> <td> <p>old ? older</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>Variation: if the adjective ends in -e, just add -r</p> </td> <td> <p>late ? later</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>Variation: if the adjective ends in consonant, vowel, consonant, double the last consonant</p> </td> <td> <p>big ? bigger</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>Variation: if the adjective ends in -y, change the y to i</p> </td> <td> <p>happy ? happier</p> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <table> <thead> <tr> <td> <p><b>Long adjectives: use more</b></p> </td> <td> <p><b>examples</b></p> </td> </tr> </thead> <tbody><tr> <td> <p>2-syllable adjectives not ending in -y</p> </td> <td> <p>modern, pleasant</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>all adjectives of 3 or more syllables</p> </td> <td> <p>expensive, intellectual</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><b>RULE:</b> use "more"</p> </td> <td> <p>modern ? more modern<br> expensive ? more expensive</p> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <p><b></b></p><p>Retrieved from: <a href="https://www.englishclub.com/grammar/adjectives-comparative.htm">https://www.englishclub.com/grammar/adjectives-comparative.htm</a></p><p>EXAMPLES</p><p>“I think Diwali is more colourful than the Chinese New Year.”</p><p>“I think the food at Thanksgiving is nicer than the food in Diwali”.</p><p>“In my opinion, tamales are spicier than turkey. </p><p>“I think the sweets of Diwali are sweeter than the oranges of Chinese New Year.</p><p>“Chinese New Year lasts longer than Colombian Christmas.”</p><p>“In my opinion, a Thanksgiving meal is bigger than a Diwali meal.”</p><p><b>Examples</b></p> <ol> <li>The hotel room is <b>larger than</b> my bedroom at home.</li> <li>An elephant is <b>bigger than</b> a horse.</li> <li>Today’s test was <b>easier than</b> last week’s.</li> <li>My new pillow is <b>softer than</b> my old one.</li> </ol>
