Problem with one comparetive...
Hello people, today I want to do one ask a question...Is this correct: "more light than"??? I think that is the best way to say it is "lighter" but is it okay to say good "more light than"... in some places, I have read the expresion "more fat than" because of and so can I say "more light than". Thanks.
To form the comparative of adjectives in English we follow two conventions:
1) Short adjective add -er to the adjective
2) Long adjectives use "more" + adjective
One-syllable adjective almost always add -er: lighter, hotter, bigger, smarter, smaller, fatter, colder, etc.
Some two-syllable adjective can go either way:
quiet → quieter/more quiet
clever → cleverer/more clever
narrow → narrower/more narrow
simple → simpler/more simple

I would say that lighter than is better in this context. Example: The color yellow is lighter than the color blue."
As for the expression "more fat than" it might be better to say "fatter than" Example: Tom is fatter than Jim.
Good luck in improving your English!
