In English, some adjectives used when comparing take special forms. For example, you can have one good person who is better than another or the best in a group of three or more. At other times, we use words such as "more", "less" and "most" when making comparisons. For example, when comparing the costs of different products we might say something like " This one is more expensive than that one, but the amount you get is so much greater , so it really the mosteconomical in the long run."

To compare you use comparative adjectives.

For short adjectives like big small cheap pretty you add -er to the adjective for example:

big -- bigger, small -- smaller, cheap -- cheaper, pretty -- prettier.

When the adjective ends in vowel + consonant then double the consonant, as in big.

When the adjective ends in y "the y changes to i then add ed" as in pretty.

For longer adjectives then use more before the adjective eg:

expensive -- more expensive, economical -- more economical.

Some adjectives are irregular that is they don't follow the rules eg:

good -- better, bad -- worse.

In a sentence use than after the comparative adjective eg:

Jon is bigger than Simon. My car is more expensive than your car.
