## Comparative Forms of Short, Long, and Irregular Adjectives

💡 **KEY FORMULA / RULE:** To form the **comparative degree** in English, add the suffix **-er** to one-syllable adjectives (changing _-y_ to _-ier_ for two-syllable adjectives ending in a consonant + _y_), place **more** before adjectives with two or more syllables, and use unique root changes for **irregular adjectives**.

* * *

### 🧠 SOLUTION STEPS

**1. Short Adjectives (Add _-er_ / _-ier_):**

- **clean** \rightarrow **cleaner**
- **fast** \rightarrow **faster**
- **old** \rightarrow **older**
- **tall** \rightarrow **taller**
- **cheap** \rightarrow **cheaper**
- **short** \rightarrow **shorter**
- **young** \rightarrow **younger**
- **ugly** \rightarrow **uglier** _(consonant + y changes to -ier)_
- **long** \rightarrow **longer**

**2. Long Adjectives (Add _more_ before the adjective):**

- **beautiful** \rightarrow **more beautiful**
- **interesting** \rightarrow **more interesting**
- **expensive** \rightarrow **more expensive**
- **famous** \rightarrow **more famous**
- **crowded** \rightarrow **more crowded**
- **dangerous** \rightarrow **more dangerous**
- **incredible** \rightarrow **more incredible**
- **hysterical** \rightarrow **more hysterical**

**3. Irregular Adjectives (Unique Comparative Forms):**

- **good** \rightarrow **better**
- **bad** \rightarrow **worse**
- **far** \rightarrow **farther / further** _(both forms are correct; “farther” refers primarily to physical distance, while “further” can indicate figurative extent or distance)_

✅ **FINAL ANSWER:**

| Adjective Type | Base Form | Comparative Form |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Short Adjectives** | clean | **cleaner** |
| | fast | **faster** |
| | old | **older** |
| | tall | **taller** |
| | cheap | **cheaper** |
| | short | **shorter** |
| | young | **younger** |
| | ugly | **uglier** |
| | long | **longer** |
| **Long Adjectives** | beautiful | **more beautiful** |
| | interesting | **more interesting** |
| | expensive | **more expensive** |
| | famous | **more famous** |
| | crowded | **more crowded** |
| | dangerous | **more dangerous** |
| | incredible | **more incredible** |
| | hysterical | **more hysterical** |
| **Irregular Adjectives** | good | **better** |
| | bad | **worse** |
| | far | **farther / further** |

* * *

⚠ **EXAM INSIGHT / PITFALL:** Never combine both forms at once (e.g., writing _“more cleaner”_ or _“more better”_ is grammatically incorrect). Always choose either the **-er** suffix or the word **more** , never both.
