COMPARATIVE FORM OF ADJECTIVES ; One syllable adjectives Adjectives ending in -y Adjectives with Two or more syllable Irregular adjectives Adjective old safe big heavy noisy boring beautiful good bad far much/many little Comparative form older safer bigger heavier noisier more boring more beautiful better worse farther more less Sıfata "daha" niteliği kazandıran "-er" ve "more" eklenmesi ile oluşan yapılardır. Türkçe de mukayese sıfatları olarak ifade edilirler. Cümle yapısı: sıfat + -er / more + sıfat + than - She is more intelligent than she looks. (O göründüğünden daha zekidir). Bu yapı Türkçe ye "... -den daha + sıfat" şeklinde aktarılır. İngilizcede niteleme sıfatları düzenli ve düzensiz olarak, yani kurallı veya kuralsız olarak iki şekilde derecelendirilebilir. Tek heceli sıfatlara -er takısı eklenir. - My car is faster than yours. (Benim arabam seninkinden daha hızlıdır.) - Girls are shorter than boys. (Kızlar erkeklerden daha kısa olurlar.) İki yada ikiden fazla heceli sıfatlarda more kelimesi sıfatlardan önce getirilir. - Her new dress is more beautiful than her old one. (Yeni elbisesi eskisinden daha güzel.) - Cities are more attractive than villages. (Şehirler köylerden daha çekicidir.) Sonunda -y harfi bulunan sıfatlar -er takısı alır -y -ie ye dönüşür. - English is easier than Turkish. (İngilizce Türkçeden daha kolaydır.) - A car is heavier than a bike. (Araba bisikletten daha ağırdır.) Birçok iki heceli sıfattan önce more kelimesi getirilir. - Some films are more boring than others. (Bazı filmler diğerlerinden daha sıkıcıdır.) Bazı sıfatlar ise yukarıda belirtilen kuralların dışında düzensiz değişirler. Belirli bir kural olmadığı için ezberlenmeleri gerekir. Aşağıda bu sıfatlar verilmiştir.
