HOW DO WE FORM THE
COMPARATIVE ADJETIVES?
We must take in account the adjetive itself,
there are long and short ones.
For instance:
One syllable: big, short, fun, hard…
Two syllables: happy, simple, busy…
Three syllables: beautiful, important,
amazing…
• How do we add a suffix according to the
verb REMEMBER THE RULE CVC.
• CVC we must geminate the last
consonant, later we add the er suffix.
• For instance: Bigger, funnier.
If the adjetive is composed by three syllables
we only add more before the adjetive.
