Comparative adjectives are formed in different ways in English. If the adjective is short (single syllable or two syllables), the ending -er is added (e.g. "taller", "faster"). For long adjectives, "more" is used (e.g. "more beautiful", "more expensive"). Exceptions include adjectives such as "good" (better) and "bad" (worse). In colloquial speech, the -er forms are often used, while in formal writing "more" is preferred for clarity.
