Comparative Adjetives

Comparative adjectives are simple: they allow us to use language to describe that one thing has more of something than another noun. In other words, this kind of adjective allows us to compare twothings.
No matter how long they are, words that are adjectives all function in the same way. “Tall” has one syllable, for example, but “pretty” has two syllables, and “beautiful” has three, but theyall function the same when in their original form. Building comparative adjectives is a more complex process. 
The rules might be confusing, but once you get used to the system, you will realize thatbuilding comparative adjectives is like second nature. The first step to building a comparative adjective from a regular adjective is thinking about how many syllables the regular adjective has.
*For an adjective that has one syllable - add the ending –er to the end of the adjective to create the comparative form. For example, “tall” becomes “taller.” 
* For an adjective that ends in y andhas two syllables - drop the y and add –ier. For example, “pretty” becomes “prettier,” and “early” becomes “earlier.” 
* For an adjective that has two syllables and does not end in y - add theword “more” before the adjective. For example, “purple” becomes “more purple.”
* For a word with three syllables, we use the word “more” before the adjective. For example, “beautiful” becomes “morebeautiful.”

There are some exceptions to the basic rules of building a comparative adjective. For example, “quiet” does not end in y and has two syllables, but we still say “quieter” in thecomparative adjective form.
Doubling the Consonants
If a word ends in the pattern, “consonant – vowel – consonant,” then you follow a special rule when constructing a comparative adjective. Simply doublethe last consonant, and add –er to the word. This might sound confusing, but when seen in action, it is actually simple to understand. For example, “big” becomes “bigger,” “fat” becomes “fatter,” and...
