Note:
| – We use comparative adjectives for the comparison between two people, places, objects, and ideas. – Comparative adjectives can be formed by adding er with adjectives (tall- taller), or more before adjectives (handsome- more handsome). Some adjectives have irregular comparative forms (bad-worse, good-better, far-further, etc) – STRUCTURE: – A is comparative adjective than B. – Eg: My house is bigger than yours. Your house is more expensive than mine – To show large differences, we use considerably, much, much more, far etc. before the comparative adjective Eg: He is much taller than me. – To show small differences, we use a little, a bit, slightly, etc. before the comparative adjective. Eg: He is a bit taller than me. Negative Structure: A is not as adjective as B Eg: I am not as tall as you. |
