Last week both of my classes studied about "Comparatives" .
The definition on Wikipedia as below:
In grammar, the comparative is the form of an adjective or adverb which denotes the degree or grade by which a person, thing, or other entity has a property or quality greater or less in extent than that of another, and is used in this context with a subordinating conjunction, such as than, as...as, etc.[1] If three or more items are being compared, the corresponding superlative needs to be used instead.
Adverbs describe verbs
