About Comparative Adjectives
In my book it is written :
Adjectives and adverbs with more than one syllable (The Rule is "More+adjective") ; (Positive is "important"); (The comparative is "More Important")
What is the mean of "
Adjectives and adverbs with more than one syllable"?

words consist of syllables, for example 'big' is a word that consists of one syllable because it has one vowel, comparative from that adjective is bigger, but the word similar consists of 3syllables si-mi-lar because it has 3vowels so the comparative will be more similar

The number of syllables is the number of sounds in spoken language. So 'Important' has three syllables, im-por-tant. So we say ‘more important’. ‘Strange’ is spoken in one sound so we don’t say ‘more strange’. Does this make sense?
