For an adjective with more than

one syllable that ends in “y”,

you must add -ier.

Example:

1) The car is heavier than the

bicycle.

2) You are prettier than her.

For an adjective with more than

one syllable that does not ends

in “y”, but the adjective remains

unchanged, you must add more

before the adjective.

Example:

1) The butterfly is more

beautiful than the spider.

2) Fried chicken is more

delicious than vegetable.
