Hi, everybody, and welcome back to EnglishClass101.com's
youtube channel.

My name is Alisha, and today we're going to
talk about basic adjectives comparisons.

So today I'm going to explain how to make
a basic adjective comparison, we'll talk about

short adjectives, long adjectives, and some
sample question patterns, and some sample

statement patterns you can use with this grammar.

Okay, so first I want to talk about short
adjectives.

So short adjectives are adjectives that are
one to two syllables long, a syllable is the

So, for example, the word small has one beat,
small.

"Pretty" has two syllables, pretty; so a syllable
is like the beat of a word.

So for short adjectives, adjectives which
have one to two syllables, to make the adjectives

comparative form, we use the adjective plus
ER, this is how we make the adjective form,

However, please note if the adjective ends
in a Y, like pretty, the form is still the

same, it's the adjective plus an ER sound,
but the spelling does change, so if your adjective

ends in a Y, please drop the Y from the end
of the adjective and add IER, instead of only

This is special, it's only for adjectives
which end in Y, so please be careful with

In pronunciation, it doesn't make that big
of a difference, but just please note it when

Okay, so for example, with the three adjectives
I just mentioned, small, fast, and pretty,

Small becomes smaller, fast becomes "faster,"
pretty becomes "prettier" here.

So this is how we make the adjective the comparative
form of an adjective, a short adjective, one

Okay, let's talk about how to make the comparative
form of an adjective with three or more syllables.

So, for a long adjective with three plus syllables,
the adjective does not change, the adjective

stays the same, however, we have to add more
or "less" before the adjective.

So for example, with the adjective "beautiful,"
we can add "more" or "less" in front of the

adjective, before the adjective, to make the
comparative form.

The same thing applies to the adjective "expensive";
so expensive also gets "more" or "less" before

the adjective, and this makes the comparative
form.

So please remember there is no need to change
the adjective if the adjective is more than

If it's fewer than three syllables, please
make sure to use this pattern, the short adjective

However there are a few adjectives which have
an irregular form, an irregular comparative

form, a few of them are up here on the board.

So, some irregular adjectives are "good,"
"bad," and "fun".

Good does not become good-er or more good.

Good in fact changes to "better," so please
be careful here.

Bad becomes "worse", we do not use batter
or more bad, please use "worse".

Bad becomes worse in the comparative form.

For "fun," the long adjective rule applies
to fun, so please use "more" or "less" in

front of the adjective "fun" to make the comparative
form.

Okay, so now that we know how to make a comparison,
let's talk about a few different patterns

that you can use to explain a comparison,
to make a comparative statement, or to make

a question, to make a question asking someone
to compare two or more items.

So, first, to make a positive comparison,
we'll say A is plus the comparative adjective,

then B.
So for example I could say, let's see...

This book is more expensive than that book.

I've used the comparative adjective form here,
to use a short adjective, I could say, let's

So just make sure to use the comparative form
here.

In the negative comparison, however, you'll
see it's slightly different, when you make

a negative comparison, you'll say A is not
as, plus the regular adjective, there's no

change to the adjective in this sentence pattern,
as B.

So, for example, A is not as big as B. A is
not as expensive as B. So please be careful,

when you're making a negative comparison,
you're not changing the adjective, the adjective

will remain the same, there's no need to update
this part, so please be careful here.

Finally, I want to talk about a few questions,
so these are a few question patterns that

you can use along with your comparatives.

So for example, which is, plus your comparative
adjective, A or B?

So, for example, which is more expensive A
or B?

Here you need to use the comparative form
of the adjective in your question.

The same thing here, is A or B, comparative
adjective.

You can use both of these patterns to ask
simple information questions using the comparative

form, so let's try this out in a few example
sentences.

So the first sentence that I have,
My brother is _____ than me.

I want to use the adjective "funny" here.

So funny has two syllables, funny, it also
ends in Y, so I know I need to apply this

Let's go to this one, Thai food is ______
than French food.

For this one, I want to use the adjective
spicy.

So spicy, just like funny, ends in Y and it's
a short adjective, so again, I need to apply

So, Thai food is spicier then French food
is the right answer for this one.

Okay, next I have, a new house is more, so
this is a big hint word for me, more, ______

I want to use the adjective "expensive," I
know that expensive is a long adjective, so

this is the rule that applies, this means
there's no change to the adjective.

A new house is more expensive than a new car
is the correct sentence here.

Okay, let's go to the next one, French fries
are ______ than onion rings.

So I want to use the irregular one, the irregular
adjectives "good."
