The comparative form of an adjective is used for comparing two people or things.
Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between the two objects they modify (larger, smaller, faster, higher). They are used in sentences where two nouns are compared, in this pattern:
Noun (subject) + verb + comparative adjective + than + noun (object).

HI CRIS!
Which words are long adjectives of 2 syllables?
THank you!
Hi Mia!
Very good question! In general, adjectives ending in -ed, -ing, -ful, or -less always form the comparative with “more”, for example: “more boring than…” “more worried than…”
Besides, some two-syllable adjectives can take either -er or more. For example: “simpler than…” or “more simple than…” / “quieter than…” or more quiet than…”.
