 Adjectives

can be used attributively, i.e., before nouns. Adjectives can be used predicatively too, i.e., before verbs. ATTRIBUTIVELY He is a good boy. PREDICATIVELY The boy is good.

 Adjectives

can express degrees of modification:

Gladys

is a rich woman, but Josie is richer than Gladys, and Sadie is the richest woman in town.

The degrees of comparison are known as the positive, thecomparative, and the superlative. We use the comparative for comparing two things and the superlative for comparing three or more things. Notice that the word thanfrequently accompanies the comparative and the word theprecedes the superlative. The inflected suffixes -er and estsuffice to form most comparatives and superlatives, although we need -ier and iest when a two-syllable adjective ends in y(happier and happiest); otherwise we use more and most when an adjective has more than one syllable.

 When

making a comparison between quantities we often have to make a choice between the words fewer and less. Generally, when we're talking about countable things, we use the word fewer; when we're talking about measurable quantities that we cannot count, we use the word less. "She had fewer chores, but she also had less energy."

 Taller

than I / me ?? The correct response is "taller than I/she.

More

than / over ?? In the United States, THEY usually use "more than" in countable numerical expressions meaning "in excess of" or "over." In England, there is no such distinction.
