A T TENTION !
ATTENTION !

• There are some spelling changes when we use comparative forms. If there is one vowel
followed by one consonant at the end of the adjective, we use double consonants. Look at the
examples below.

Examples :
slim → slimmer fat → fatter
big → bigger wet → wetter
hot → hotter sad → sadder
thin → thinner red → redder
fit → fitter
• We can use ‘’less’’ or ‘’more’’ in front of long adjectives (two or more syllables) to compare things. Study
the examples below.
- Yuka is less hardworking than Terry.
- Terry is more hardworking than Yuka.
