Compare two optionsقارن بين خيارين

The idea, simply

For short adjectives add -er and than: cheaper than. For long adjectives put more before the adjective: more comfortable than. Some are irregular: good becomes better and bad becomes worse. Do not mix the two: more cheaper is wrong. For equal things say as … as: The bus is as fast as the train. To state a preference, say I prefer A to B.

Examples

• The train is more comfortable than the bus.

• This phone is cheaper, but that one is better.

• I prefer tea to coffee.
