We use the comparative degree of adjectives when we compare between two persons or things. The comparative degree of old is older.

We get the comparative degree of adjectives by :1. adding 'er' to the adjective, e.g. short - shorter. 2. changing y into i and adding erto the adjective,e.g. happy happier 3. using more before the adjectiv,e.g. careful - more careful.

We usually write than after the adjective while using the comparative degree.
