    Comparative

    Adjectives
    C O M PA R A T I V E
    ADJECTIVES

    Comparatives are used to show the difference


    between two objects.
    Toyota
    Let’s say that I have two cars. I have a little
    Toyota and a big Ford.
    A comparative is used to show the difference
    between the two.
    The Ford is big so we can say “the Ford is Ford

    bigger than the Toyota”. Because the Toyota


    is small, we can say “The Toyota is smaller
