Charlene

I'm going to explain how to modify comparative adjectives.

To describe a small difference, you can use the words a bit, a little or slightly, for example:

Tom is a bit taller than me.

Tom is a little taller than me.

And Tom is slightly taller than me.

To compare big differences, you can use a lot, significantly, far and much, for example:

Physics is much more difficult than history.

Physics is a lot more difficult than history.

Physics is far more difficult than history.

Or: Physics is significantly more difficult than history.

The final thing to mention is which words can't be used with comparative adjectives.

Very and really can never be used in a comparative sentence.

Compare comparative adjectives with a bit, a little, slightly for small differences,

or a lot, significantly, far and much for big differences.
