    Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between two things. They are formed by changing the adjective to a comparative form, usually by adding "-er" for one-syllable words or "-ier" for words ending in "y". Exceptions include irregular adjectives like "good" and "bad" as well as two-syllable words which take "more" instead of changing form. The document provides rules and examples for making regular and irregular comparative adjectives.
