Comparatives: sætninger, øvelser, tests og eksempler

Comparatives bruger

Vi bruger komparativer til at sammenligne to personer, ting, steder, situationer eller handlinger. De viser, at én ting har en højere, lavere eller samme grad af en egenskab: højere, mere interessant, mindre dyr, lige så hurtig som.

Komparativer bruges ikke kun med adjektiver, men også med adverbier. Adjektiver beskriver substantiver, mens adverbier beskriver handlinger og den måde, noget sker på.

Comparatives Form

Komparativer dannes på forskellige måder afhængigt af adjektivet eller adverbiet. Korte ord får normalt -er, længere ord får normalt more, og en lavere grad udtrykkes ofte med less. Nogle former er uregelmæssige.

short adjective/adverb → word + -er + than
long adjective/adverb → more + word + than
lower degree → less + word + than
equal comparison → as + word + as
