                  COMPARATIVE



                  Comparative is used to

                  compare two things
                  (noun).


                                                               The formula:
                  For  example,  as  we  can

                  see in the picture above,                    N1  +    Adjective  +  er  +  than  +

                  a father and his son are                     N2.
                  standing  beside  each

                  other.                                       The       sentence          produced
                  In other words, there are                    should become:

                  only       two       people        to        “The  father  is  taller  than  the

                  compare.                                     son ”
                  In  this  case,  we  use                     Or the antonym:

                  Comparative.  The  term

                  we  used  to  describe                       “The  son  is  shorter  than  the
                  them             is         height.          father”            Note:

                  Therefore,  we  use  the                                    Remember to

                  adjective            “Tall”        or                      always put the
                  "Short"                                                  word “than” after
                                                                            the comparative
                                                                                 word!.
