# Source: ST §Making Comparisons
$GRAMMAR Making Comparisons
ID: l2-s19
INTRO: Here's how "-er" works — and the three spelling tricks that come with it.
CARD: **-er** and **than** are added to regular adjectives to compare people or things.
{Greg is taller than Dana.}
{This window is cleaner than that one.}
CARD: Words that end in a consonant with a short vowel sound before the consonant double the consonant before adding **-er** and **than**.
{His shoes are wetter than his coat.}
CARD: Words that end in a consonant + y change the y to i and add **-er** and **than**.
{The men were happier than the women.}
CARD: Words that end in e need only **-r** and **than**.
{Today's weather is nicer than yesterday's.}
SUMMARY:
**1. Regular adjectives:**
| | | |
|---|---|---|
| tall | -er | taller |
| clean | -er | cleaner |
| narrow | -er | narrower |
| weak | -er | weaker |
| slow | -er | slower |
| long | -er | longer |
**2. Consonant doubling:**
| | | |
|---|---|---|
| wet | + ter | wetter |
| big | + ger | bigger |
| sad | + der | sadder |
| hot | + ter | hotter |
**3. Consonant + y:**
| | | |
|---|---|---|
| happy | -ier | happier |
| heavy | -ier | heavier |
| rainy | -ier | rainier |
| windy | -ier | windier |
| thirsty | -ier | thirstier |
| hungry | -ier | hungrier |
**4. Ending in e:**
| | | |
|---|---|---|
| nice | -r | nicer |
| large | -r | larger |
| little | -r | littler |
| late | -r | later |
| wide | -r | wider |
| blue | -r | bluer |
