Šta je to?

Komparativni pridevi se koriste za poređenje dve osobe, stvari, mesta ili situacije.

Oni pokazuju da jedna osoba ili stvar ima više ili manje neke osobine od druge.

Uobičajeni komparativni oblici uključuju:

Reč than se često koristi posle komparativnog prideva.

Tom is taller than Ben.

Kada se koristi

Koristite komparativne prideve kada poredite dve osobe ili stvari.

• This car is faster than that car.
• My room is smaller than yours.

Koristite ih kada poredite dva mesta.

• Calgary is colder than Vancouver.

Koristite ih kada poredite dve situacije.

Koristite less + adjective da pokažete niži stepen neke osobine.

Struktura

Za mnoge kratke prideve dodajte -er.

Subject + be + adjective-er + than + noun/pronoun

• tall → taller
• fast → faster
• old → older

Primer:

Anna is taller than Maria.

Ako se pridev završava na -e, dodajte samo -r.

• nice → nicer
• large → larger

Ako se kratak pridev završava na jedan samoglasnik + jedan suglasnik, završni suglasnik se često udvostručuje.

• big → bigger
• hot → hotter

Ako se pridev završava na suglasnik + -y, promenite y u i i dodajte -er.

• happy → happier
• easy → easier

Za mnoge duže prideve koristite more.

Subject + be + more + adjective + than + noun/pronoun

• more beautiful
• more comfortable
• more important

Primer:

This chair is more comfortable than that one.

Da pokažete niži stepen, koristite less.

Subject + be + less + adjective + than + noun/pronoun

Primer:

This task is less difficult than the last one.
