What to Focus On

  • Comparatives are used to compare two things.
  • Short words usually take -er.
  • Long words usually take more.
  • much and a lot show a stronger difference.
  • a bit, a little, and slightly show a small difference.
  • These words come before comparative forms.
  • Comparatives can compare price, height, time, distance, marks, and age.
  • Comparatives may be used with adjectives or adverbs.
  • Than usually connects the two things compared.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Comparatives are used to compare more than two things.

All comparative forms can be made by adding -er, including words like comfortable and good.
