the more…/er. The more../er
contoh dalam double comparativer misalnya :
- The sooner, the better
- The better the government, the happier the people
- The more food you eat, the fatter you will get
Kesalahan umum pada penggunaan double comparative adalah penggunaan -er ending dan the word “more”. These sentences generally sound awkward when read out loud. Consider the following sentence:
“Mary speaks more highlier of the iTouch than the iPod.” In this case it would be best to remove the -er and use the adverb in its comparative degree. Now, reconsider the sentence:
“Mary speaks more highly of the iTouch than the iPod.”
