adjectives: comparison

Hi everybody!

Do you remember how to make comparative adjectives????
Here I am to help you remember with these rules and examples:

-er is added to the end of a 1-syllable adjective
  • cold - colder than

  • small - smaller than

  • tall - taller than
  • Winter is usually colder than summer.

  • The green hat is smaller than the yellow one.
more is used for words that have 2 syllables, if the word doesn't end in -y.


if they end by -y it changes to -i and we add -er
  • honest
  • more honest than
  • modern
  • more modern than
  • easy
  • easier

  • Chinese is more difficult than English.
  • Catalan is easier than German

more is used for words that have 3 or more syllables
  • expensive
  • more expensive than

  • comfortable
  • more comfortable than

adjectives that end in -e, only -r is added to end of the adjective
  • nice -nicer than

  • safe -safer than

adjective that end in a consonant, vowel, consonant - the last consonant is doubled
  • big -bigger than

  • fat- fatter than

  • hot -hotter than

A past narrative.

THIS IS A SAMPLE OF WRITING FOR YOU:


WALKING THROUGH THE PARK.

Yesterday I went to the park.
I wanted to see how the trees have changed since the last time I was there.


The sun was shining and it wasn't very cold.
The birds were singing peacefully, and the ducks were swimming in the lake.
We also saw some swams, and a lot of fish.


There weren't many people in the park, only some women jogging.



Most of the trees were without leaves. There were very few flowers and fruits.
We took some pictures and watched how a man was driving a model boat in the lake.

Some days before I saw how a TV3 team were taking some shots.
It was a skecht for the Polonia tv3 programme, the one about Lluis Llach character. It was on last Thursday.

Barcelona is amazing!
