afraid →more afraid; interesting→more interesting; pleased→more pleased。 　　
4. 少数形容词的比较级是不规则的。 　　
good/well→better; bad/ill→worse; far→farther / further;much/many→more;little→less　　
5.以辅音加y结尾的，把y变i，加er。

注意事项
1. 为了避免重复, 常用the one代替单数可数名词, the ones, those 代替复数名词, that 代替单数或不可数名词。 　　
2. 当比较对象属于同一范围时，需使用other来排除自身，否则会造成与自身相比较的矛盾。

3. “no + 形容词的比较级 + than”结构表达对两者均否定。

4. 比较级前面可以用even, still, yet , any, much, a little, a lot, by far等修饰语用以加强语气或表示比较程度。To tell you the truth, my boyfriend is much older than me.
