    • Challenging ⇒ More / Less challenging
    • Difficult ⇒ More / Less difficult
• This has irregular form and the previous rules don’t apply:

  • Far ⇒ further / farther
• To do sentences we have two forms:
  • New York is larger than Toronto.
  • It’s more expensive to lived in Switzerlan than in Italy.

<aside> 📌 Summary**:** To do comparisons we need to add “er” at the end of the word, if it’s longer, we add more or less then we put “than”
