Comparison
Hallo everybody, welcome back to my blog! this time I will tell you about one of the kind text, that is comparation text which delivered at the meeting on December 22, 2021.
What is Comparing?
Comparing os comparison is the act of evaluating two or more things by determining the relevant, comparable characteristics of each thing, and then determining which characteristics of each are similar to the other, which are different, and to what degree. Where characteristics are different, the differences may then be evaluated to determine which thing is best suited for a particular purpose. The description of similarities and differences found between the two things is also called a comparison.
How to Comparing?
- If the adjective (describing word) is one syllable, you can add -er. For example, small – smaller; big – bigger; nice – nicer.
- If the adjective has two syllables, but ends in -y, you can change the end to -ier. For example, lucky – luckier; happy – happier.
- With other English adjectives of two syllables and more, you can’t change their endings. Instead, you should use more + adjective. For example, handsome – more handsome; beautiful – more beautiful and so on.
- When you compare two things, use ‘than’. “She’s younger than me.” “This exercise is more difficult than the last one.”
- When you want to say something is similar, use ‘as – as’. For example, “She’s as tall as her brother” or “It’s as nice today as it was yesterday.”
- When you want to say one thing is less than another, you can either use ‘less than’ or ‘not as – as’. For example, “This programme is less interesting than I thought” or “This programme is not as interesting as I thought.”
- Remember that some adjectives are irregular and change form when you make comparisons. For example, good – better; bad – worse; far – further.
