What to Focus On

  • Comparisons are used to show differences between two things.
  • We use the comparative form of adjectives like 'bigger', 'taller', 'younger'.
  • The word 'than' is often used in comparison sentences.
  • For short adjectives: add '-er' (e.g., tall → taller).
  • For long adjectives: use 'more' (e.g., dangerous → more dangerous).
  • Always use 'than' when comparing two things.
  • One-syllable adjectives: add '-er' (big → bigger).
  • Ends in 'e': add '-r' (nice → nicer).
  • Consonant-vowel-consonant: double last letter (hot → hotter).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

We always add -er to compare two things, like 'bigger' or 'faster'.

We can use 'more' with all adjectives, even short ones like 'big' or 'tall'.

We can use -er with 'more' together, like 'more taller'.

Memory Tips

Using -er for comparing two things (short adjectives)

Using 'more' with longer adjectives (two or more syllables)

Always use 'than' after a comparison

Irregular comparatives: good → better, bad → worse
