GRAMMAR

1 If the adjective (describing word) is one syllable, you can add -er.

For example, small – smaller; big – bigger; nice – nicer.

2 If the adjective has two syllables, but ends in -y, you can change the

end to -ier.

For example, lucky – luckier; happy – happier.

3 With other English adjectives of two syllables and more, you can’t

change their endings Instead, you should use more + adjective.

For example, handsome – more handsome; beautiful – more beautiful

and so on.

42

COMPARISON

4 When you compare two things, use ‘than’.

“She’s younger than me.”

“This exercise is more difficult than the last one.”

5 When you want to say something is similar, use ‘as – as’.

For example, “She’s as tall as her brother” or “It’s as nice

today as it was yesterday.”

6 When you want to say one thing is less than another, you can

either use ‘less than’ or ‘not as – as’.

For example, “This programme is less interesting than I thought”

or “This programme is not as interesting as I thought.”

7 Remember that some adjectives are irregular and change form

when you make comparisons.

For example, good – better; bad – worse; far – further.

You can use “almost as … as”, “not quite as … as”, “(not)

nearly as … as”, “nowhere near as … as”, “twice as …

as” and “half as … as” to change the extent of the

similarity.

For example:

“She’s almost as good as you!”
