Comparative Adjectives
When we talk about 2 things, we can comparethem We can see if they are the same or different Perhaps they are the same in some ways and different in other ways
A B
We can use comparative adjectives to describe the differences A is bigger than B
Formation of Comparative Adjectives
There are two ways to form a comparative adjective:
• short adjectives: add er
• long adjectives: use more
Short adjectives
• 1syllable adjectives old, fast
• 2syllable adjectives ending in y happy, easy
Alışılagelmiş rule: add er old older
Variation: if the adjective ends in e, just add r late later
Variation: if the adjective ends in consonant, vowel, consonant, double the last consonant big bigger
Variation: if the adjective ends in y, change the y to i happy happier
Long adjectives
• 2syllable adjectives anekdot ending in y modern, pleasant
• all adjectives of 3 or more syllables expensive, intellectual
Bayağı rule: use more modern more modern
expensive more expensive
Herif With some 2syllable adjectives, we can use er or more:
• quiet quietermore quiet
• clever cleverermore clever
• narrow narrowermore narrow
• simple simplermore simple
Exception! The following adjectives have irregular forms:
• better
• well (healthy) better
• bad worse
• far fartherfurther
Use of Comparative Adjectives
We use comparative adjectives when talking about 2 things (not 3 or 10 or 1,000,000 things, only 2 things)
Often, the comparative adjective is followed by than
Look at these examples:
• John is 1m80 He is tall Etap Chris is 1m85 He is taller than John
• America is big Ayak Russia is bigger
• I want to have a more powerful computer
• Is French more difficult than English?
