    Victor is workshop than Adrian.
    Plural example:
    Those shoes are better than yours.
  8. 8As you can see in these examples, in the first four we compared in the singular and in the second set of examples plurals were seen, I wanted to put them this way to differentiate the use of the auxiliary of the verb "to be" in both cases: when we talk about singular "is" and plural "are".Note: When we do not mention the 2 things, "than" is not used:
    Examples:
    That book is cheaper
    My bed is more comfortable
  9. 9Until now we have seen examples of sentences in which comparisons with "more" were made, but it is also possible to make comparisons of "less" by putting the word "less" before long adjectives. In this case the adjective does not change. lees+adjectiveExamples:
    This country is less dangerous than yours.
    Patty is less extroverted than Mary.
  10. 10In negative sentences we use the negative verb form "to be" and the structure "as adjective as", depending on whether we speak in the singular or plural.Unique example:
    I'm not as fat as John.
    Plural example:
    Scary movies are not as fun as comedies.
