Comparative Adjectives – List of Comparative Adjective Examples

Comparative adjectives are second-degree adjectives that are used to make a comparison between two or more things. We use comparative adjectives to show that one person or thing shows a higher degree of quality than the other.

Example:
Stella is cooler than Jasmine. 
My room is messier than yours. 
My pet is more mischievous. 

Comparative adjectives are formed by adding a suffix to the Affirmative Adjective. They are also known as Second Degree Adjectives. 
The regular adjectives can be transformed into a comparative degree by adding a suffix -er or -ier, or by adding the word more or less behind them. 
To be more specific, one-syllable or monosyllable adjectives can be transformed into comparative form by adding the suffix –er. If the adjective is ending with the letter “y”, then the ending letter is replaced with i, and er is added.

Example:
Clear – Clearer
Cool – Cooler 
Warm – Warmer

Two-Syllable Adjectives follow the same process.  

Example:
Ugly – Uglier 
Narrow – Narrower 
Happy – Happier 

Adjectives that have more than two syllables can be changed into comparative form by adding a word more or less. 

Example:
Acceptable – More Acceptable
Beautiful – More Beautiful

There are a few exceptions to this rule that are known as irregular adjectives. 

Example:
Good – Better
Bad – Worse
