COMPARISONS 1

Making comparisons

•We use comparatives to compare two nouns which belong (most of the times) to the same group or to groups of nouns which have some characteristics in particular which can be compared.

We sometimes want to say something or someone is more or less than anything else, and in order to do that, we can use the grammar rules to make comparatives.
