Comparative adjectives Comparative adjectives are used to show a difference between two nouns (objects).
EG: He is older than her There are two ways to make or form a comparative adjective: short adjectives: add "-er" long adjectives: use "more" One syllable adjectives:
old + er = older
Two syllable adjectives ending in y: English Language
Level B1 Lesson 2
early + er earlier
GRAMMAR
"
Use of adjectives We use ‘more’ for adjectives with two (but no Y) or more syllables.
EG: Difficult+ More = More difficult
“It is more difficult than that…” Adjectives that end in an E we just add a R
EG: Nice + R = Nicer
“This is nicer than that…”

The wonderful sites of England TIM: Jill, we have two weeks to see the wonderful sites
of England! Shall we start with Big Ben? JILL: Is that the big clock near the Houses of Parliament? TIM: Yes. It is a very famous historical site. Let’s go there

go to the London Eye! It’s more modern than Big Ben. TIM:
But Big Ben is more interesting, it’s also a lot older than the London Eye.
JILL: I know Big Ben is more historical, but the London Eye is more exciting!
