We use thanwhen we want to compare one thing with another:

France is a bigger countrythan Britain.

When we want to describe how something or someone changes we can use two comparatives with and:

The balloon got bigger and bigger.

We often use with comparative adjectives to show that one thing depends on another:

How to form comparative and superlative adjectives

We usually add -er and -est to one-syllable words to make comparatives and superlatives:

If an adjective ends in a vowel and a consonant, we double the consonant:

We use more and most to make comparatives and superlatives for most two syllable adjectives and for all adjectives with three or more syllables:

However, with these common two-syllable adjectives, you can either add -er/ -r and -est/ -st or use more and most:

He is certainly handsomer than his brother.
His brother is handsome, but he ismore handsome.

600+ Confusing English Words Explained

A student asked me:

In your lesson called "Difference between Say, Tell, and Speak" - Why not AMONG instead of BETWEEN since we're dealing with three names?

It is often taught that "between" is used for 2 items and "among" for 3 or more.

But this is not completely accurate. The more accurate difference is this:

Between is used when naming distinct, individual items (can be 2, 3, or more)

Among is used when the items are part of a group, or are not specifically named (MUST be 3 or more)

This example will help illustrate the difference:

The negotiations between Brazil, Argentina, and Chile are going well.

The negotiations among the countries of South America are going well.

Of course, these sentences are not equivalent (because there are more countries in South America than just Brazil, Argentina, and Chile) but they illustrate the rule - you CAN use between with 3 individual items, and you must use among when talking about a general group (in which no specific countries are named).

Here's another example that is more exact:

I'm trying to decide between the green shirt, the blue shirt, and the black shirt.

I'm trying to decide among these shirts.

These sentences are the same - but in the first sentence, we specifically name each of the three options (the green shirt, the blue shirt, and the black shirt) - so we use the word between. In the second sentence, we treat the items as part of a group ("these shirts") so we use the word among.

You can find more information and examples here: Grammar Girl: "Between" Versus "Among"

"Between you and I" or "Between you and me"?

The correct phrase is "between you and me" - never "between you and I" - this is something that even native speakers confuse!

This expression is used when you want the other person to keep some information a secret, for example:

Between you and me, I think John got fired because he's completely incompetent.

This means you don't want the other person to tell anyone else your opinion about John's lack of abilities.

one more, an additional, an extra

a different one; an alternative one
