Comparative

     cours

* On utilise les adjectifs pour faire la comparaison :

- We add er to short adjectives which contain one syllable:

       EX :  adj + er + than

        fast --> faster

- We add r to short adjectives ending in e :

           EX :   adj + r + than

          safe --> safer

- We must double the consonant when short adjectives end with one vowel and one consonant :

EX : big -->bigger + than

- We must change  y to i  and add  er to adjectives with two syllables ending in y :

EX : busy --> busyier  --> busier + than

_ We usually add more or less to other adjectives with two or more syllables :

EX : more + adj + than

         more beautiful 

         less + adj + than 

- less expensive

EXCEPTIONS :

    bad --> worse

    good --> better

    far --> farther/further
