A comparative adjective modifies one noun by comparing it to another. Most comparative adjectives take the ending -er.
strong – stronger
dark – darker
bold – bolder
tall – taller
My grandpa is a tall man, but my dad is a taller man.
Adjectives ending in the letter –y change their spelling when adding =er.
pretty – prettier
sunny – sunnier
windy – windier
sticky – stickier
Yesterday was a windy day, but today is a windier day.
Some words double the last consonant before adding -er.
big – bigger
hot – hotter
wet – wetter
sad – sadder
I have a big dog, but my friend has a bigger dog.
A comparative adjective takes an -er ending and shows comparison between one noun and another.
