Rules for using the comparative

 

Syllable: A part of a word that you say as a single sound.

For example, the word water has two syllables. Wa-ter.

 

- Add "-er" to one-syllable words (e.g. "big" becomes "bigger")

- Words with two syllables that end in "y": Change "-y" into ''-ier'' (e.g. "happy" becomes "happier")
- Two-syllable words not ending in "y" and three or more syllable adjectives: Before the word, use "more" (e.g. "beautiful" becomes "more beautiful")

- Some words have unusual forms (e.g. "bad" becomes "worse")

- Not all words can be made comparative. Example: "unique" and "perfect". Something can't be more/less unique or more/less perfect.
