Comparative Adjectives
When we talk about two things, we can "compare" them. We can see if they are the same or different. Perhaps they are the same in some ways and different in other ways. We can use comparative adjectives to describe the diferences.
In the example below, "bigger" is the comparative form of the adjective "big":
New York is bigger than Rio.
Formation of Comparative Adjectives
There are two ways to make or form a comparative adjective:
short adjectives: add "-er"
long adjectives: use "more"
The following adjectives have irregular forms:
good → better
well (healthy) → better
bad → worse
far → farther/further
EXAMPLES:
John is 1m80. He is tall. But Chris is 1m85. He is taller than John.
America is big. But Russia is bigger.
I want to have a more powerful computer.
Is French more difficult than English?
