    For better or for worse…?

    “Comparisons are odious” says the


    old proverb.
    However, one way of describing a person or thing is by saying that they have
    more of a parti cular quality than someone or something else. To do this, we
    use comparati ve adjecti ves.
    It is also possible to describe someone or something by saying that they have
    more of a parti cular quality than any other of their kind.

    In this topic:
     You will use comparative adjectives (regular and irregular) to express
    ideas and write sentences comparing objects, places, people, etc., in real
    situations and context.
     Also, you will practice the four skills by means of a reading about two
    important cities: London and New York; listening a common interview;
    writing yourself ideas comparing your favorite topics and speaking about
    why your country is better.
     Finally, you will find a self-assessment to practice all the knowledges
    acquired in this topic .

    1
    Objective:

    At the end of this topic you will:


    • Use regular and irregular comparative adjectives (adjective + er +
    than;More /Less + adjective + than) to make comparisons between different
    people, objects and places in English-speaking countries.

    Use of Comparative djectives


    For example:
     My sister is taller than me.
     Turtle is slower than rabbit.

    We use “than”, after the comparative adjective to say what we are


    comparing something with. However, some changes are necessary,
    depending on the number of syllables the adjective has.

    Rules for comparative adjectives


    One- syllable
    For most of One- syllable adjectives we have to add -er to the adjective: fast
    faster, hard harder.

    EXAMPLES:

     can run faster than you.

    2
     She works harder than me.
     I can run faster than you.
     She works harder than me.

    If the one-syllable adjective ends with a single consonant with a vowel


    before it, double the consonant and add –er for the comparative
    form: big bigger, fat fatter, hot hotter.
    .

    One- syllable
    As general rule the most adjectives with Two or more syllables: use  more with
    the unchanged adjective.

    Examples
     Russian grammar is more difficult than English grammar.
     I find maths lessons more enjoyable than science lessons.

    Two-syllable adjectives ending in -y: change the -y to –i and add er: happy


    happier , easy easier

    3
    Examples:
     She looks happier today.
     This grammar topic is easier than the last one.

    EXEPTIONS

    bad worse

    far farther

    Examples:
    Italian food is better than American food.
