Resumo

Double comparative structure

In a Nutshell

Este sumário vai ajudar-te a entender como e quando usar as duas formas da double comparative structure. 


Gradual increase

You can use a double comparative structure to express the idea that things are changing in a continuous way. There are two different ways of using it, depending how long the adjective you're using is.


Info 1: Short adjectives

With short adjectives, the correct structure is comparative adjective + and + comparative adjective.


Example:

​The wage gap between men and women is getting smaller and smaller.​


Info 2: Long adjectives

With long adjectives, the correct structure is more + and + more + (long) adjective.


Example:

MIllennials are more and more interested in environmental causes.


Parallel increase

You can also use a double comparative structure to express the idea that this changes or varies together, like a relation of dependence on one another. The structure is the + comparative adjective, the + comparative adjective.


Examples:

Ambitious people never stop: the more they have, the more they want to conquer. 

The older people get, the wiser they feel.
