Comparative
The comparative is used to compare two things and to demonstrate the superiority, inferiority, or equality of one of them by respect to the other.
You can use the comparative form of adjectives to compare differences between people, places and things; you can use the comparative form of the adverbs to compare differences between actions.
1. To compare two or more nouns with one another, we use comparative
• This car is faster than that one.
2. To make the comparative, add -er to the adjective.
• Ben is shorter than Tom.
• Tom is stronger than Ben.
Comparative sentences often use than after the comparative adjective or the comparative adverb.
It's much colder today than it was yesterday.
How do we form the Comparative ?
For one-syllable adjectives we use -er form:
Most other two-syllable adjectives especially those ending in -ful or -re take more
Some two-syllable adjectives can take either -er / -est or more
Adjectives of 3 or more syllables take *more*
