    This document provides rules for forming comparative adjectives in English. It explains that one-syllable adjectives add "-er" and use "than" for comparison. Two-syllable adjectives ending in a consonant and "y" change the "y" to "i" and add "-er". Adjectives ending in a consonant-vowel-consonant combination double the last consonant and add "-er". Adjectives with two or more syllables form the comparative with "more". It also lists irregular forms such as "good" and "bad" and provides example comparisons and practice links.
