    • We often use a phrase with than after a
    comparison.
    Ex: The steak is more expensive than the fish

    • We normally use the before a superlative.


    Ex: The last question is the most difficult.

    • We use as … as to say that things are equal or


    unequal.
    Ex: Our house is as big as yours.
    It isn’t as cold as yesterday.
    The same N as
    Our house has the same size as yours.
