COMPARATIVES ----4TH

REMEMBER:
There are two ways for doing the comparatives: 1-2 syllables or adjectives with 3 or more syllables.
In class we have only worked the comparitives with one or two syllables.

• Short adjectives (one syllable):

young----younger than
old-------older than
long-----longer than
small----smaller than
new-----newer than
short----shorter than
tall------taller than
fast-----faster than

• Ending in consonant + vowel + consonant:

REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE TO DOUBLE THE LAST CONSONANT

big----bigger than
hot----hotter than
fat----fatter than

• Two syllables adjectives ending in -y:

REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE TO CHANGE -Y FOR -I

ugly-------uglier than
noisy-----noisier than
friendly-friendlier than
happy----happier than
funny----happier than
