  Good - better

  ill – worse
  far – further / farther
  old - elder / older
  
  They're irregular comparative forms for their respective adjectives. Actually, teh novelty here is ill, which is the same as being "feeling bad", which hints ate "worse" being the most fitting comparative form. Further confers a comparative degree to far, although in the United States the preferred form is "farther". There's a difference between elder and older. Older can be used a standalone form,for instance, one might say: there have been many fishmongers here. As of late, two were of notice, one of a rather stark complexion who was about 12 years his peer's senior. The younger fishmonger set out on trip that would turn out the greatest find of his life, while the elder fishmonger decided to halt his daily sallying at the front of an expensive-looking clothes store, looking for a fitting jumpsuit.
  
  Bad && ill usam o mesmo grau compartivo: worse. far (distant) usa further (UK) ou farther (US). Old é older. Somente se usa elder como immediate modifier: somente antes de substantivos, nunca como complemento nominal ou predicativo do sujeito ou objeto.
