COMPARATIVE

ADJECTIVES IN COMPARATIVE DEGREE

The comparison is used in English to compare differences between the two objects that it modifies (larger, smaller, faster, higher). It is used in sentences where we compare two names, in the following way: Name (subject) + verb + adjective in comparative degree + than + name (object). The second term of the comparison can be omitted if it is understood from the context. (see the last example).

Examples


  • My house is larger than hers.
  • This box is smaller than the one I lost.
  • Your dog runs faster than Jim's dog.
  • The rock flew higher than the roof.
  • Jim and Jack are both my friends, but I like Jack better. ("than Jim" se sobreentiende)
Comparative adjectives are adjectives that are used to make a comparison between two nouns

    for example
    • The blue shirt is better than the green shirt.
      La camisa azul es mejor que la camisa verde.

      Short adjectives
      There are several rules that must be followed to form comparative adjectives.
      Rule 1: If an adjective has a syllable, add the ending -er 
      suffix. (short -shorter)
      Rule 2: If an adjective endsinthesequence[consonant,vowel, consonant], duplicate the last consonant before applying rule
      1. (we-wetter)
      Rule 3: If an adjective ends in -e, add -r to the end. (large - larger)
      Rule 4: If an adjective has two syllablesandendsiny,chang
       y to i and add the -er suffix to the end. (tin -tinier)
