GRAMMATICAL RULES OF COMPARATIVES.

By: Jesus Aramis Gomez Vargas.

TComparative adjectives as the name implies, are used to compare two elements of a sentence and describe their differences. But how are comparative adjectives formed in English? The structure of a sentence with a comparative adjective is: Subject + verb + comparative adjective + than + object.

Short adjectives Short adjectives are added "-er" at the end, for example: My mother is older than my father. I'm faster than you. Long adjectives Long adjectives use the formula: "more" or "less" + adjective, example: The red car is less expensive than the blue one. My purse is more beautiful than hers. Two-syllable adjectives There are also some adjectives, which usually have two syllables, with which "-er" or "more" can be used. The teacher is more clever than the students. The teacher is cleverer than the students.

Irregular comparative adjectives. Although most fall into the category of regular, there are some adjectives that are irregular and are very commonly used, so you must learn them to avoid making mistakes. Good – better Well – better Bad – worse Far – farther Little – less Much (very) – more (more)
