| Question | Answer |
| most of the adjectives of a syllable we add the "-er" to form its comparative | Examples: big / larger slow / slower Fast / Faster |
| for short adjectives ending in "-e" we simply add "-r" | Example: wide / wider late / later sure / safer |
| short adjectives ending in vowel and consonant make a double consonant and add "-er" | Example: high / Louder big / larger thin / skinnier |
| for short adjectives ending in "-y" change the "y" to "i" and add the ending "-er" | Example: happy / happier funny / funnier heavy / heavier |
| for many adjectives of two or more syllables we use "more" plus the original adjective more + adjective | Example: beautiful / most beautiful money / more money Joy / more Joy |
| some adjectives have a special comparative form | Example: slowly / slow Well / better bad / worse |
| for affirmative sentences we use words "q" after the comparative to make the comparison | Example unique: Jose is the same as Pedron plural example: that cap is prettier than yours |
| these examples that we compare in singular and plural serve to differentiate from the verb "to be" and the structure "as adjetive as" depending on whether we speak in singular or plural | unique example: I'm not as skinny as Daniel Plural example: laughter and terror make me happy |
| we have seen examples with comparisons "more" and we have also made comparisons of "less" the adjective does not change lias + adjectives | Example: your country is safer than mine Peter is calmer than John |
| in these examples the first four we compare in singular and in the second plurals to differentiate the use of the verb "to be" in both cases | Example: that car is cheaper my sofa is comfortable |
