Comparison of Adjectives
Adjectives can be used to compare two or more persons, things or feelings. When we use an adjective to compare two, it is called the comparative degree.
Here we add -er to compare two persons, things or feelings.- Amita is fat.
- Kavita is fatter than Amita.
Adjectives in the comparative degree also use the words more or less before them like more beautiful, less interesting. In some cases where the adjective ends in -y we change it to -ier like lazy -lazier.
- Mira is beautiful.
- Tina is more beautiful.
