When we compare two things or people we look at what makes them different from each other.
For example:
| Examples: | ||
| The man on the left is taller than the man on the right. | A car is faster than a bicycle. | |
For example:
The red bag is bigger than the blue bag. |
For example:
- "Mount Everest is higher than Mount Snowdon.", 'high' is a short (one syllable) word.
"Arguably, Rome is more beautiful than Paris.", beautiful is a long word, (when comparing two things like this we put than between the adjective and the thing being compared).
The following adjectives are exceptions to this rule:
- 'far' becomes 'farther' or 'further'
<LI class=style20>'good' becomes 'better'
<LI class=style20>'bad' becomes 'worse'
