Grammar part 2: comparisons

We can make comparisons in English in several different ways:

1. add -er & -est (short, shorter, shortest)
2. use more & most (beautiful, more beautiful, most beautiful)
3. Onregelmatig (good, better, best)
4. (not) as ... as --> (not) as good as ..

In comparisons we use than, not then (this refers to time)

Comparisons 

1) Dogs are ................. (intelligent) than rabbits.

2) Lucy is.................(old) than Ellie.

3) Russia is far .................(large) than the UK.

4) My Latin class is .................(boring) than my English class.
