1.1 COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES

• Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between

the two objects they modify.

Example: larger, smaller, faster, higher.

• They are used in sentences where two nouns are compared, in this

pattern:

Noun (subject) + verb + comparative adjective + than + noun (object).

Yes he is!

I am bigger than Miss
Red Starfish.

• The second item of comparison can be omitted if it is clear from the

context.

Example: Between the pink and blue corals, I like the blue one

better. (“than pink one” is understood)
