    Comperative VS Superlative

    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....)

    - bigger
    webig
    double
    the consanant and add -er
    hot - hotter
    thin - thinner
    fat

    - fatter

    If and adjective ends with a y, we change it to i and add er

    happy - happier
    funny - funnier
    easy
    - easier
    ugly
    - uglier

    When we compare 2 things or people using long


    words

    (three or more sylabbles),

    we add

    + adjective + than
