generally speaking, in English, words with the short 'i' sound can be recognized by the fact of having two consonants immediately after the letter 'i'.

viz: fir (short 'i'), vs fire (long 'i')

almost always of the form: (consonant, 'i', consonant, consonant)

Thus: firm, firmament, gird, girder, hilt, filter, and so on.

Also, the letter 'i' followed by a final consonant is always the short sound.

viz: clip, grip, slip, hip, lip, rip, sip, tip, and so on.

What two ways are Comparatives formed?

Comparatives are formed in two ways: by adding the suffix "-er" to the end of adjectives for short words (e.g., "faster," "stronger") and by using the words "more" or "less" before adjectives for longer words (e.g., "more beautiful," "less intelligent"). The choice between the two methods depends on the length and structure of the adjective being compared.
