Introduction
Comparative Adjectives sind Determinanten, die verwendet werden, um einen Vergleich zwischen zwei Dingen, Menschen oder Handlungen zu machen, um die Gleichheiten oder Ungleichheiten zwischen ihnen auszudrücken.
Um Gleichheit oder Ungleichheit zwischen zwei Dingen, Menschen oder Handlungen zu zeigen, verwenden wir gewöhnlich den Comparative of Equality (as…as/Klausel).
EXTRA: Comparative Adjectives = Vergleichende Adjektive; Comparative of Equality = Vergleich der Gleichheit.

Die Affirmative Form wird verwendet, um Gleichheit auszudrücken, die Negative Form für Ungleichheit und die Interrogative Form, um die Gleichheit oder Ungleichheit von zwei Dingen, Menschen oder Handlungen zu fragen.
