​Comparative adjectives

Adjectives with two syllables can form the comparative either by adding -er or by preceeding the adjective with more. In many cases, both forms are used, although one usage will be more common than the other. If you are not sure if a two-syllable adjective can take a comparative, play it safe and use more instead. For adjectives ending in y, change the y to an i before adding the ending.
