NRTC English: Stop Saying ‘more Better’ When You Speak Or Write by Azeemokoya: 5:23am On Mar 11, 2023
The use of comparative forms in English can be tricky. When two people or things are compared, we talk about comparatives. Examples include taller, bigger, faster, stronger, more expensive, etc. And when more than two people or things are compared, we talk about superlative use. Examples include the tallest, the biggest, the fastest, the strongest, the most expensive, etc.

For example:

My house is [b]larger [/b]than hers.
This box is [b]smaller [/b]than the one I lost.
Your dog runs [b]faster [/b]than Jim’s dog.
The girl is the [b]tallest [/b]girl in the class.



However, there are some irregular comparative and superlative forms. You should familiarize yourself with this arrangement: positive/comparative/superlative. Examples include good/better/the best, bad/worse/the worst, much or many/more/the most, less/lesser/the least etc.
