Comparing Actions in English
Model Sentence
They must work harder. OR He can read more quickly than me.
We have two ways to compare things in English grammer. With short words, we
add "-er" at the end of a word (such as "work harder" in the Model Sentence) or we
use "more" before a word (as in "more quickly"). Practice the grammar points by using
the sentences below.
