    7. Rules for comparative adjectives Some short adjectives double the final consonant in a comparison, for example "big" ---> "bigger". Some adjectives have an irregular form, for example "good"---> "better" "bad" ---> "worse" "far" ---> "farther". Adjectives with two syllables ending in "-y" work like short adjectives, for example "early" ---> "earlier"
