The comparative form of adjectives compares two things or people. For example, we can use them to compare two pairs of shoes, two apartments ore even two best friends. In general, we can use comparative adjectives to make two different kinds of comparisons.

A direct comparison, where we mention both people or things: New York is larger than Phoenix.

An indirect comparison, when it´s not necessary to mention the other person or thing: Phoenix is more crowded in Winter than in the summertime.

In general, with short adjectives (one syllable), we add the suffix –er or some variation of it. With longer adjectives (two or more syllables), we add the words “more” or “less” before the adjective.

Some one-syllable adjectives don´t follow any of the other rules for comparative adjectives. For this reason, we call them irregular. For example, good-better/ bad-worse / far-farher/further.
