What is a "comparative adjective"?
A comparative adjective is an adjective used to compare two or more nouns, indicating a difference in degree or quality. Comparative adjectives often end in "-er" or are preceded by "more" when comparing the characteristics of nouns. For example, in the phrase "taller than," the adjective "taller" compares the height of one person to another. In "more interesting," the adjective "more" modifies "interesting" to compare the level of interest between two subjects. Comparative adjectives are important for expressing differences and making comparisons in language, helping to clarify relationships between the nouns being discussed.
