¿Cuál es la diferencia entre comparative y superlative adjectives?

Un comparative adjective compara exactamente dos cosas, como bigger, y suele llevar than detrás. Un superlative adjective compara una cosa con todo un grupo de tres o más, como the biggest, y siempre necesita the delante sin usar than nunca.

¿Este test de comparative adjectives incluye soluciones?

Sí. Las 50 preguntas de los cinco ejercicios muestran la respuesta correcta y una explicación sencilla al comprobarlas. El test es completamente gratuito y no necesitas registrarte para empezar a practicar hoy mismo desde tu casa, y puedes repetirlo cuando quieras.

¿Cuándo se usa more en vez de -er?

Se usa more con los adjetivos más largos, normalmente de dos sílabas o más, como more beautiful o more expensive. Los adjetivos cortos como tall o big simplemente añaden -er: taller, bigger. Nunca uses las dos marcas juntas en ningún caso.

When do I use than after an adjective?

Use than when you compare two things and name the second one.

Why is more better wrong?

Better is already the comparative of good, so more adds nothing.
