Thanks for the answer...

clever is a two-syllable word.
The general rule is as follows: add -
er and –
est to one-syllable words and to two-syllable words ending in –y. The rest get
more and
most.
But I think "He is more clever than wise." is correct.
This sentence is not similar to "He is cleverer than Tom."
I learned we add "more" to clever in case we compare one personality to another of one person. Why do you add "more" though it violates a general rule?
Best regards...
