ELI5 - what determines whether an adjective is enhanced with “more” or “-er”?
gpt
It’s almost always the amount of syllables. One or two syllables will usually have “er” (happier, slower, slimmer, etc.) while three or more will have “more” (more delicate, more agreeable, more extemporaneous, etc.) hope that helped!
