b. Comparative Degree









                      We use a comparative degree if


               we  want  to  show  an  unequal



               comparison.







                     Please  pay  attention  to  the



               following patterns and examples of


               comparative degree:








                    (first) Subject + To be + Adjective



        + -er/-ier/more [+ than + (second) Subject]







                         For  an  adjective  with  one



                         syllable, you must add -er.



                           Example:



                         1) Damian is taller than Jessica.



                         2) She is smarter than them.
