Use comparatives to show something is changing - English In A Minute

Hi! I'm Roy

and today I'm going to tell you about using comparatives

to say that someone or something

is changing or developing.

So the structure is like this:

comparative + and + the same comparative.

So we put the 'and' in the middle of

the two comparative adjectives.

Every year, I look older and older.

Don't forget that with adjectives of two or more syllables,

like 'beautiful',

we use the word 'more' plus an adjective

to make the comparative.

We don't add –er.

With these,

we add the 'and' in the middle of the two 'mores'.

For example:

Every day, my wife Luciana

gets more and more beautiful.

Anyway, that's everything for today.

I'm getting hungrier and hungrier

so I've got to go. Bye!
