Learn how to use comparative adjectives in this English class.
They are used to compare 2 or more things, people or places. We also use them to compare 1 thing, person or place at different times.
We use \”than\” after the comparative adjective to say what we are comparing something with.
Example: The mouse is smaller than the cat.
In this English grammar lesson, you will learn the spelling rules for comparatives. The rules are different depending on whether the adjective is 1 syllable, 2 syllable and more or irregular.
When we use a personal pronoun after a comparative, we use an object personal pronoun (me, you, her, him, it, us, them)

English Grammar: Comparative Adjectives
Comparative adjectives are words that are used to show the differences between two nouns: “larger”, “smaller”, “longer”, etc. Some comparative adjectives have unexpected spellings, but there are some simple rules to follow to get the spellings right. In this lesson, I will use strange objects from my personal collection to teach you about comparative adjectives. For example, is my first sword “biger”, “bigger”, or “more big” than my second sword? I will teach you when to use “er” and when to use “more” to express comparisons between adjectives. You will also learn how the spelling changes on some words when we add the “er” ending. After watching this video, take the quiz at https://www.engvid.com/englishgrammarcomparativeadjectives/ for more practice.
TRANSCRIPT
Hello. My name is Emma, and in today’s video, I am going to teach you about comparative adjectives. So, what are comparative adjectives? They are words we use when we are comparing different things or different people. Okay? So, let’s look a little bit more into this.
I just wanted to remind you about what a noun is and an adjective is before we begin. A noun is a person, a place, or a thing. So, for example, this marker is a noun because it’s a thing. I’m a person, my name is Emma I’m also a noun. Okay? Right now we are in a classroom a classroom is a place, so \”classroom\” is a noun. So, a noun is a person, a place, or a thing.
An adjective is something… Or I should say it’s a word that describes a noun. Okay? So, I said before this is a marker. If I called it a blue marker, \”blue\” would be the adjective. Or if I said: \”This is a colourful marker\” or \”a dull marker\”, these are all adjectives to describe the noun \”marker\”. Okay.
So, here are some other examples of adjectives. We can use the word \”cold\”, okay? Right now I’m cold. We can use the word \”hot\”; that’s an adjective. \”Tall\”, \”old\”, \”rich\”, \”poor\”. We use these words to describe something. Okay? So, a lot of the times we like to compare things. Okay? We like to compare people. Okay? Which celebrity is hotter? Okay? Which…? Which dress is nicer? In English, we often compare two things; and when we compare things, we need to use comparative adjectives. So, let’s look at that.
So, we have some rules when it comes to using adjectives to compare two things. When an adjective, so such as these, are one syllable or one beat, we add \”er\” to it when we want to use it to compare. So, let’s look at an example of thisokay?because it’s sort of hard to understand unless you actually see what I’m talking about. I have here two cups. Okay? I want to compare these two cups. This cup is old, this cup is new, so when I compare these two cups, I add the word \”er\” to the adjective when I compare them. So, I can say: \”This cup is older than this cup. This cup is newer than this cup.\” Okay? So, let’s look at this. What did I do? I added \”er\” to the word \”old\”, and I added \”er\” to the word \”new\”. So, when I’m comparing two things, if the adjective… In this case, the adjective is \”old\” and \”new\”. If the adjective is one syllable or one beat, meaning it’s a short adjective, we add \”er\”.
Let’s look at another example. This book is very heavy. So, I have here this book: The Unabridged Edgar Allan Poe. It’s a very nice book, but it’s very heavy. And then I have this book: The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly. It’s a book written by a South Korean author that’s really good, but it’s… It’s very light. Okay? So, I want to compare these two books. What can I say about these two books? How are they different? Well, this book is very long. This book is longer than this book. Okay? This book is longer than this book. So, notice we have the word \”long\”; this is long; that describes the book. And we add \”er\”\”er\”to compare it to this book. Now, maybe I want to talk about this book. I can say: \”This book is shorter than this book.\” And, again, all I need to do is add \”er\” to the adjective. Sorry. So, this book is longer; this book is shorter.
Let’s look at another example. I have a lot of things today to show you. Best part of all: The swords. Okay? These are swords. I don’t know if you can see that, but this is a little sword. It looks like something you could put in a sandwich, maybe. This is a much bigger sword. So, how can we compare these two? Well, again, there’s many things we can say about these two swords; there’s many adjectives we can use to describe them. Let’s look at the one we have on the board. Let’s do… Well, this isn’t really thicker. We can say \”longer\” and \”shorter\” with this. We can also say: \”lighter\” and \”heavier\”. This sword is a heavier sword. Okay? It’s a lot bigger. It’s bigger and it’s heavier. This sword is smaller. Okay? Notice it’s smaller and it’s lighter. So, what I did there was I just added \”er\” or the sound \”er\” to \”heavy\” to make it \”heavier\”, and I added \”er\” to small to make it \”smaller\”. Okay? So let’s do some more practice […]

I hope you liked our video.
Kids should spend time watching informative videos and expand their knowledge day by day.
Kids retain what they see in audiovisual lessons so make them watch informative videos rather than cramming things.
If you want to learn any topic, please free to write to us, we will upload the video to help you out as soon as possible.
We can also create a customized u tube playlist for the topics you want to learn.
Your feedback is important to us.

About us:
Welcome to Tutway.
A unique platform where learning is fun.
Now there is no distinction between kids’ fun time and study time.
At Tutway, we believe in a very simple idea that audiovisual learning is the most effective tool for grasping knowledge. Many researchers have proven that kids learn a lot by playing interactive games and watching audiovisual animated lessons as compared to reading from books.
That’s when Tutway comes to the rescue.
Tutway is a supplementary education program where kids can learn at their own pace. The students can watch animated videos that are so meticulously made that they can understand even the most complex concepts very easily. There is a question bank at the end of each video where students can answer those questions multiple times and test whether they have grasped knowledge completely or not.
We have information systems embedded in the program where parents can monitor realtime performance of their kids and get up to date information about their performance, including quizzes attempted and the marks got in each quiz, both in tabular and graphical formats. Regular reports are emailed to the parents so that the parents can analyze their kids’ performance.
If we want to learn highlevel concepts, we should have a clear understanding of the basic concepts. For instance, if kids don’t know about addition and subtraction, they cannot do multiplication, and if they don’t know about multiplication, they cannot do division, and if they don’t have knowledge of these four basic operations, Algebra cannot be done by them, and it goes on and on.
The same applies to the English language if kids don’t have sound knowledge of grammar and vocabulary; it becomes extremely difficult for them to have their communication skills.
Knowledge of the scientific concepts is also required for observing physical, chemical, biological phenomena happening all around us.
That is why; Tutway has thousands of animated videos on Maths, English, and Science to clear the basics of these subjects. It perfectly suits most of the educational needs of most of the students, regardless of their learning abilities.
So hurry up, download the Tutway app and book a freedemo class to make education interactive and fun experience.
