Exercise 1: Comparative Adjectives

2. This book is (interesting) [tex]$\qquad$[/tex] than that book.
3. She is (tall) [tex]$\qquad$[/tex] than her sister.
4. My car is (fast) [tex]$\qquad$[/tex] than your car.
5. The red dress is (expensive) [tex]$\qquad$[/tex] than the blue dress.



Answer :

Certainly! Here is the step-by-step solution for each sentence, properly filled in with the comparative form of the adjectives:

1. My house is (big) [tex]$\quad$[/tex] than your house.

Position: Place the adjective "big" in its comparative form. Since "big" is a short adjective, we add "-ger" to make it "bigger."

Solution: My house is bigger than your house.

2. This book is (interesting) [tex]$\quad$[/tex] than that book.

Position: Place the adjective "interesting" in its comparative form. Since "interesting" is a longer adjective (three or more syllables), we use "more" before the adjective.

Solution: This book is more interesting than that book.

3. She is (tall) [tex]$\quad$[/tex] than her sister.

Position: Place the adjective "tall" in its comparative form. Since "tall" is a short adjective, we add "-er" to make it "taller."

Solution: She is taller than her sister.

4. My car is (fast) [tex]$\quad$[/tex] than your car.

Position: Place the adjective "fast" in its comparative form. Since "fast" is a short adjective, we add "-er" to make it "faster."

Solution: My car is faster than your car.

5. The red dress is (expensive) [tex]$\quad$[/tex] than the blue dress.

Position: Place the adjective "expensive" in its comparative form. Since "expensive" is a longer adjective (three or more syllables), we use "more" before the adjective.

Solution: The red dress is more expensive than the blue dress.

Therefore, here are the complete solutions:
1. My house is bigger than your house.
2. This book is more interesting than that book.
3. She is taller than her sister.
4. My car is faster than your car.
5. The red dress is more expensive than the blue dress.
