1. COMPARATIVES.

1.1. Comparative is the name for the grammar used when comparing two things. The two basic ways to compare are using as .. as or than.

1.1.1.1. This computer is BETTER than that one

1.1.1.2. Our car is BIGGER than your car.

1.2. When comparing with as .. as, the adjective does not change. When comparing with than, however, some changes are necessary, depending on the number of syllables the adjective has:
