English language comparatives give us a chance to communicate the similarities and differences between things. There are degrees of comparatives, just as there are degrees of modals; however, they are easier to use. A similarity is how two or more things are the same or close to being the same. Black and gray are similar to each other, and there are different degrees of grey. A difference is how things are not like each other or are even opposite to each other, like black and white are opposite to each other.
In the paragraphs below, write the comparative forms that show differences or similarities.
You can tell that Kenji and Daisuke are definitely brothers because they share many of the same traits; however, they are also different in many ways.
First of all, they look almost the same, but Daisuke is a little taller than Kenji. Daisuke has a slightly wider face than Kenji, but Kenji's face is a little longer. Daisuke is the older brother, while Kenji is the younger brother. So, it is not surprising that Daisuke works harder and takes charge more than Kenji. Kenji is of course a little less serious than Daisuke.
Kenji likes to hang out with his friends more than Daisuke does. Kenji has longer hair than Daisuke, and his clothes are a little more fashionable; however, Daisuke is just as friendly as Kenji. They both enjoy sports, but one likes football, while the other likes baseball. These are both team sports. When it comes to individual sports, Daisuke likes sports that require a high degree of discipline, like cross-country running. Kenji, however, likes sports that allow him to meet other people, so he likes golf.
