the adjective and we write than after the adjective.
example: Sam is taller than Tom.
when the adjective has more than two syllables we write
more before the adjective and than after it.
example: maths is more difficult than language.
spelling:
the adjectives that end in consonant + vowel + consonant we
double the consonant.
example: big - bigger
fat - fatter.
the adjectives that end in consonant +y we add ier
