Observe que para transformar um adjetivo na sua forma comparativa, devemos seguir algumas determinadas regras:

• Adj. com uma sílaba que termina em consoante - vogal - consoante = dobra a consoante e adiciona -er.
• Adj. que termina em -e = adiciona-se o -r.
• Adj. que termina em -y = retira-se o -y e adiciona-se o -ier.
• Adj. com menos de três sílabas e que termina em consoante = adicionar-se o sufixo -er.
• Adj. com mais de três sílabas ou adj. terminando em -ing = adiciona-se o "more" na frente.

Além disso, a forma comparativa deve vir acompanhada do "than", antes do objeto no qual ele está se comparando.
