Repeated
And Double
Comparatives
(page 67)
Repeated comparatives are used to describe actions or things that
are increasing or decreasing. They are used to show trends and
emphasize.
Your English is getting better.
Your English is getting better and better.
Both sentences above have the same meaning, but the second
sentence is stronger and emphasizes that it is a continuing thing.
1. For comparatives that end in "-er", just repeat it twice.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter.
Air pollution is getting worse and worse.
Young people are waiting longer and longer to get married.
2. For comparatives that use "more/less + adjective",
repeat these words two times. But do not repeat the
adjective.
Milk is getting more and more expensive.
She has been acting more and more peculiar.
It is becoming more and more difficult.
3. Just repeat the word "more" or "less" twice when it is used
as an adverb.
She is complaining more and more these days.
They are talking less and less these days.
My son is studying more and more diligently.
4. We can use "more and more + noun" to show that something
is increasing or "fewer and fewer + noun" to show that
something is decreasing.
More and more people are not getting married.
More and more cities are trying to reduce pollution.
Fewer and fewer people are studying history at this university.
Double comparatives are phrases commonly used in English to
express increasing or decreasing returns. Double comparatives
are often employed to underline the importance of doing or not
doing a certain activity.
The more you study, the more you learn.
The more time you take, the better the assignment your turn in.
The less money I spend, the less I have to worry about saving.
