Answer 2

I can help you with your English grammar. You asked me to fill in the blanks with comparative adjectives. Here are the answers:

1. America is more crowded than England. 2. Tom is taller than Sue. 3. John is older than Alex. 4. Tennis is more enjoyable than football. 5. Merlin is more hardworking than Arthur. 6. My box was heavier than hers. 7. My brother is faster than everybody in the family. 8. Aeroplanes are more comfortable than trains.

To form comparative adjectives, we usually add -er to one-syllable adjectives, such as tall, old, fast, etc. If the adjective ends in a vowel and a consonant, we double the consonant, such as big -> bigger. If the adjective ends in -e, we add -r, such as nice -> nicer. If the adjective ends in a consonant and -y, we change -y to -i and add -er, such as happy -> happier. For most adjectives with two or more syllables, we use more before the adjective, such as crowded, enjoyable, comfortable, etc. There are some exceptions and irregular forms, such as good -> better, bad -> worse, far -> farther/further, etc. You can learn more about comparative adjectives from these web sources: [LearnEnglish](https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/grammar/a1-a2-grammar/comparative-adjectives), [LearnEnglish - British Council](https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/grammar/english-grammar-reference/comparative-superlative-adjectives), [Grammarly](https://www.grammarly.com/blog/comparative-adjectives/).
