Komparativ

Benutze einen Komparativ + than, um zwei Dinge zu vergleichen: My brother is taller than me.

Einsilbige Adjektive erhalten -er: tall → taller, cheap → cheaper, old → older.
Einsilbige Adjektive, die auf einen Vokal + einen Konsonanten enden, verdoppeln den Konsonanten: hot → hotter, big → bigger, thin → thinner.
Adjektive, die auf Konsonant + -y enden, ändern das zu -ier, auch bei zwei Silben: heavy → heavier, easy → easier, busy → busier.
Ein abschließendes -e erhält nur -r: nice → nicer, safe → safer.
Die meisten anderen zwei- oder mehrsilbigen Adjektive verwenden more: more interesting, more expensive, more comfortable.

Niemals beide Formen zusammen verwenden: es heißt bigger, nicht more bigger.
