Roy
Hi! I'm Roy and today I'm going to tell you about using comparatives to say that someone or something is changing or developing.
So the structure is like this: comparative + and + the same comparative. So we put the and in the middle of the two comparative adjectives. Every year, I look older and older.
Don't forget that with adjectives of two or more syllables, like 'beautiful', we use the word 'more' plus an adjective to make the comparative. We don't add ' –er'. With these, we add the 'and' in the middle of the two 'mores'. For example: Every day, my wife Luciana gets more and more beautiful.
Anyway, that's everything for today. I'm getting hungrier and hungrier so I've got to go. Bye!
