!Common mistakes 2
✗ The road was more bumpy than the highway.
✓ The road was bumpier than the highway.
Two-syllable adjectives ending in y form the comparative with -ier.
y पर समाप्त होने वाले दो syllable के adjectives में comparative -ier से बनता है।
✗ We had a bumpy journey, because the road is full of bump.
✓ We had a bumpy journey, because the road is full of bumps.
Full of is followed by a plural noun here, so bump needs -s.
यहाँ 'full of' के बाद plural noun आता है, इसलिए 'bump' में -s लगेगा।
