Explanation:
-
Comparative Form: To form the comparative of most adjectives, you typically add "-er" to the end of the word. For adjectives ending in "e," just add "-r." For longer adjectives or irregular ones, use "more" or "less."
-
Opposite: The opposite of an adjective is a word that means the exact opposite concept. For example, the opposite of "clear" is "unclear."
