Some comparative adjectives are formed by adding the suffix -er to the adjective, and others are formed by using the word more.

Red flowers are beautiful. Some people think that purple flowers are more beautiful than red flowers. (compares red flowers to purple ones)
That house is ugly, but the house next to it is uglier. (compares one ugly house to another)
A comparative (note the spelling) adjective is one that compares one noun or pronoun with another and describes the difference between them. It usually ends in '-er', or takes the word 'more' in front of the adjective.

'This dog is fiercer than that one.'
'My house is smaller than yours.'
'Mondays are always busier at work than Fridays.'
'Peter is more organized than his wife in the office.'
'Jane is older than I, but I am more sophisticated.'
