Comparative Adjectives Rule in English

Not sure when to use “-er” or “more” for comparisons? This simple trick will help you get comparative adjectives right every time!

Comparative adjectives help us compare two things, but choosing the correct form can be confusing. This quick grammar rule makes it easy!

For short adjectives (one syllable), add “-er” at the end. For example:
• Tall → Taller
• Fast → Faster

For longer adjectives (two syllables or more), use “more” before the word:
• Beautiful → More beautiful
• Difficult → More difficult

For example: “She is ___ than her sister.” The correct answer is “taller” because “tall” is a short adjective.

Try this one: “This test is ___ than the last one.” Apply the rule and choose the correct form!

Mastering comparative adjectives will help you speak and write more accurately in English. Keep practicing and improve your grammar skills!
