This lesson is about using comparative and superlative adjectives.
When do we make comparisons?
Comparisons are used a great deal in IELTS writing and speaking.
- Writing Task 1: comparing information presented in a single bar chart, or comparing information presented in two different kinds of graph
- Writing Task 2: comparing two opinions, or solutions to problems, before reaching a logical conclusion
- Speaking: comparing your present situation with one in the past
Comparative adjectives
We use comparative adjectives to compare two or more people, things, or places:
Younger students will always be noisier than older students.
or the same thing, person, or place at two different times:
I’m much better at English now than I was last year.
