* New lesson: Comparative Adjectives

- Adjectives that are used to compare two people or two things have special forms.   

* If the regular adjective has one syllable, add –er to the end to make the comparative form.      (Make the second consonant double if you have a consonant-vowel-consonant pattern word.)     

 * If the regular adjective ends in y, change the y to i before adding  – er.  

* For many regular adjective with two or more syllables, use the word more before the     adjective and do not add –er.  

* Note these irregular forms: good becomes better, bad becomes worse, and far becomes farther.

* Classwork: Write the comparative form of each adjective.
