For adjectives that are just one syllable, add -er to the end (this explains the above example).

For two-syllable adjectives not ending in -y and for all three-or-more-syllable adjectives, use the form "more + adjective."

For two-syllable adjectives ending in -y, change the -y to -i and add -er.

These simple rules make it easy to tell when you should add -er or -ier and when you should use "more + adjective."

Here are a few more examples:

Notice the spelling change for adjectives ending in ‑y: the comparative ends in ‑ier.

Preferred usage typically follows what native speakers say, and the trend seems to be moving toward the simpler construction of more + adjective and the most + adjective.
