Comparisons
So my today lesson was about Comparisons. And now i know how to correctly use words like short/shorter, pretty/prettier..
For this we have to use -er ends, and if ends is -y them we have to use -ier. But if a word is long. For example "Comfortable" then use word "more" (More comfortabe). Also English have words excepption like "good" will not be gooder :D.. thats will be better.. and "bad" will not be bader.. thats will be worse. So some examples witth this rules:
1. This horse is faster than this one
2. This movie is prettier than this one
3. Your apportments more comfortable than my
4. Today i feel better than yesterday
Well.. Many thanks that read my post. And one wish if its possible.. pls let me know more about this rule and ofcorce correct me.
So many thanks everybody and have a nice day!

Comparisons
So my today my lesson was about comparisons, and now i know how to correctly use words like short/shorter, pretty/prettier..For this we have to use -er endings, and if it ends in -y then we have to use -ier. But if a word is long, for example, "comfortable" then use the word "more" (more comfortable). Also English has words that are exceptions, like "good" will not be gooder :D.. thats will be better... and "bad" will not be bader... thats will be worse. So some examples with these rules:
1. This horse is faster than that one
2. This movie is prettier than that one
3. Your apportments (not a word, did you mean "apartment"?) more comfortable than mine
4. Today I feel better than yesterday
Well.. Many thanks for reading my post. And one wish if it's possible.. pls let me know more about this rule and of course correct me.
So many thanks to everybody and have a nice day!
Rarely when making a comparison will you say "this ___ is ____ than this ____", usually you'll say "this ____ is _____ than that ____". The exception could be if you're speaking, not writing, and you are pointing to the each thing in turn, that's the only time you'd use "this" twice, rather than "this" and "that".

Good job. It's an excellent idea to summarize your lesson, in English, in your own words, like you did. It'll really help you retain things better.
