Comparatives - English Grammar Exercises

Comparatives are how we measure the world. When you want to say one thing has more of a quality than another—like a car being faster or a movie being more exciting—you’re using comparatives. They are essential for making choices and describing differences.

In this module, you’ll learn the rules for short adjectives, long adjectives, and the common irregular ones that don’t follow the pattern. You’ll practice with 25 exercises that compare everything from animals to cities.

The "Than" Connector

Don't forget the word "than"! It's the bridge that connects the two things you're comparing. For example: "The car is faster than the bike." Without it, the comparison feels incomplete.

Tricky Cases

Watch out for common mistakes when using Comparatives. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement and how different contexts can change the correct form. Some patterns might seem similar but have important differences.

Remember that context matters. The same sentence structure might work differently depending on whether you're talking about the past, present, or future, or whether you're making a statement or asking a question.
