Adjectives
Los comparativos sirven justamente para comparar una misma cualidad o característica en dos sustantivos.
Por ejemplo, en la frase "a small shirt" (una camisa chica), small es un adjetivo. Para comparar este objeto con otro, se usa el adjetivo comparativo, "a smaller shirt" (una camisa más chica).
Para formar el comparativo, se deben seguir las siguientes reglas:
· Se agrega al adjetivo "er" o "r", si ya termina en "e".small - smaller
· Si la palabra termina en vocal + consonante, se duplica la consonante.big - bigger
· Si termina en "y" se cambia por "ier".happy - happier

Cuando el adjetivo tiene más de tres sílabas, el comparativo se forma usando la palabra "more" adelante.
expensive - more expensivecareful - more careful
Para comparar dos objetos en una oración, se agrega "than".
This shirt is smaller than that shirt.Esta camisa es más chica que aquella camisa.
1. This computer is (new) than your computer.
2. Lisa is (old) than George.
3. George is (young) than Lisa.
4. Lucy is (young) in the class.
5. That car is (expensive) than this car.
6. That car is (expensive) in the market.
7. Your car is (fast) than this car.
8. Your car is (fast) in the race.
9. This house is (big) than my house!
