D. Further information about comparison of adjectives
1. Before the comparative you can use much, far, very much, a lot, any,
no, rather, a bit, a little:
very much nicer, a lot happier, rather more expensive, a little less
interesting, a bit easier, far more serious
Is your mother any more relaxed?
Things are no better than before.
When more is followed by a plural noun, it can be modified by far or
many, but not much.
Compare: many more opportunities (or far more)
much more money (or far more)
We say much less or far less, and far fewer, but not ‘many fewer’.
much less time (or far less time)
far less mistakes far fewer mistakes
2. To express the continuing change, we can use ‘double comparative’:
Your English is improving. It’s getting better and better.
These days more and more people are learning English.
She is becoming more and more nervous.
3. the......the......(with two comparatives) to say that two changes happen
together.
The warmer the weather, the better I feel.
The more dangerous it is, the more I like it.
The more expensive the hotel (is), the better the service (is).
Note the structure the+comparative the better:
Do you like high speed? Yes. The faster the better.
What size box do you want? The bigger the better.
4. as.......as......
a) When we say that two things are the same in some way, we can use
as....as.... with an adjective:
It’s as cold as ice. She’s as bad-tempered as her mother.
In negative comparisons, we can use not as.....as..... or not so.....as......
Both are correct in modern English.
She is not so nice as her sister. (or She is not as nice as her sister).
b) With a noun we use as much.....as..... or as many.....as.....to talk about
quantity:
I haven’t got as much money as I thought.
They need as many tests as possible.
c) Twice, three times, etc. can be used with as.....as.....; so can half, a
quarter etc.
Their house is about twice as big as ours.
You are not half as clever as you think you are.

d) We say the same as (not ‘the same like’)

Tom is the same age as George.
‘What would you like to drink?’ ‘I’ll have the same as last time’.
e) like+noun and as+noun
He worked like a slave. (very hard indeed)
He worked as a slave. (He was a slave.)
She used her umbrella as a weapon. (She struck him with it.)
ADVERBS

An adverb tells us more about a verb. An adverb tells us in what way someone does something or in what way something happens.
