Comparative Adjectives

By  abril 23, 2017  No comments
Comparative adjectives are those which imply increase or decrease of the quality or quantity of the nouns. It is used to compare two things in a clause. Adjectives are generally made comparative by adding 'er' to the original work like nicer, taller, smarter, etc; there are some exceptions also.
Other examples are:
·         The detective is younger than the thief
·         Science is more important than math in these days.
·         This school is better than the last one I attended.
