Comparative Forms
In English, we use adjectives and adverbs to compare objects, places, and people with certain
rules depending on the type of adjective or adverb that is being used to make the comparison.
1. When we use one-syllable adjectives or adverbs to compare, “er” is added at the end of the adjective
or adverb followed by the word than. When the adjective ends in a consonant preceded by a single vowel, the
final consonant is duplicated.
