The task is to change the given adjective words into their correct comparative forms. Here's how to solve each problem step by step:
Rules for Forming Comparative Adjectives:
1.
For most adjectives ending in a single vowel + consonant, double the consonant and add "-er":
Example: "big" → "bigger"
2.
For most other adjectives, just add "-er":
Example: "tall" → "taller"
3.
For adjectives ending in "-y", change the "y" to "i" and add "-er":
Example: "happy" → "happier"
4.
For adjectives with two or more syllables, use "more" or "less" before the adjective:
Example: "beautiful" → "more beautiful"
5.
Some irregular adjectives have unique comparative forms:
Example: "good" → "better", "bad" → "worse"
