Comparisons with adjectives • 1. add –er to one syllable words Ex: small- smaller than She was smaller than me 2. If the word has two syllables and ends with a –y, add an –ier Ex: lucky- luckier 3. When other English adjectives have 2 + syllables, you can’t change the meaning. Instead, add “more” Ex: more handsome, more beautiful The horse was more beautiful than the cow
Comparing two things • To compare two things, use “than” Phrases you can use: “a lot” “much” “a little” before “more/less than” “slightly” “far” Ex: She’s a lot more intelligent than him Ex: He’s a little taller than his sister
Comparing similarities To change extent of similarity • “almost as….as” • “not quite as…as” • “(not) nearly as…as”, • “no where near as….as” • “twice as….as” • “half as….as” • Ex: “He’s twice as old as her!”
