We use than when we want to compare one thing with another:

New York is much bigger than Boston.

France is a bigger country than Britain.

When we want to describe how something or someone changes we can use two comparatives with and:

How to form comparative and superlative adjectives
We usually add –er and –est to one-syllable words to make comparatives and superlatives:

old older oldest
long longer longest
If an adjective ends in –e, we add –r or –st:

nice nicer nicest
large larger largest
If an adjective ends in a vowel and a consonant, we double the consonant:

big bigger biggest
fat fatter fattest
If an adjective ends in a consonant and –y, we change –y to –i and add –er or –est:

happy happier happiest
silly sillier silliest
We use more and most to make comparatives and superlatives for most two syllable adjectives and for all adjectives with three or more syllables:

careful more careful most careful
interesting more interesting most interesting
However, with these common two-syllable adjectives, you can either add –er/–r and –est/–st or use more and most:

common
cruel
gentle
handsome
likely narrow
pleasant
polite
simple
stupid
He is certainly handsomer than his brother.
His brother is handsome, but he is more handsome.
