We can use comparative adjectives to compare 2 things (or two people, two places etc…)
With one or two syllable words (e.g. nice, long)
Adjective + er
_ A is nicer / longer than B
With a one-syllable word with consonant + vowel + consonant, then we double the last letter.
For example: big becomes bigger
_ A is bigger than B
With three or more syllable words (e.g. expensive, comfortable)
MORE +Adjective
_ A is more expensive than B
To emphasise the comparison we can use much/far or way
_ A is much/far/way bigger than B
_ A is much/far/way more expensive than B
