Compare and Contrast


When you compare two or more things, you tell how they are alike.

example: Birds and insects both fly around my backyard.

When you contrast two or more things, you tell how they are different.

Sometimes a single sentence can compare and contrast two or more things.

example: Birds and insects are both animals, but only birds are vertebrates.

word compare, contrast, or both on each line.
